Find a Therapist in Granville, Ohio.

Every personal issue affects us at least four ways; in our thoughts, our behavior, our emotions, and our physical reactions. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, I use an integrated model, and choose techniques based on what’s most effective for your problem. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy help you think in a more realistic, helpful way. Behavioral interventions develop skills and help break unwanted habits. Mindfulness and emotional education make your feelings easier to tolerate. Regular relaxation practice and exposure therapy teach your nerves to react calmly in safe situations. Like a steamer trunk with four handles, we’ll take hold of your issue by as many handles as we can.

I provide an eclectic approach to counseling. I have been trained in multiple therapeautic theories and techniques. Person-centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Gottman couples therapy to name a few. I will tailor each session to fit your needs and goals. At times we may use a combination of theories.

Approaches to psychotherapy fall into five broad categories: Psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapies, Behavior therapy, Cognitive therapy, Humanistic therapy, and Integrative or holistic therapy. While one individual(s) may use the Humanistic Approach another may benefit more from Cognitive therapy. This will be determined once an assessment is complete and several initial sessions. Once we figure out which type is best for you, it will be easier to structure your treatment.
