MY APPROACH TO PSYCHOTHERAPY
UNDERSTAND.
CHALLENGE.
OVERCOME.
We repeat what we don't repair.
INTENSIVE SHORT-TERM
DYNAMIC PSYCHOTHERAPY
(ISTDP)
ISTDP is not a typical treatment in which the therapist goes through the sessions slowly. Work is done with an active participation of the therapist through the challenge and rapid identification of self-sabotaging behaviors of the patient.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
(CBT)
CBT is a problem-oriented approach that aims to change unhelpful patterns of thoughts and beliefs and replace them with more accurate and healthier ones.
