Whether you're considering therapy for the for the first time or resuming therapy, congratulations! Putting your most vulnerable thoughts and feelings in the hands of a stranger takes some courage and a bit of a leap of faith. Whether you’re feeling anxious or depressed, or are in a troubled relationship, or struggling with issues that have no label, you’re probably feeling stuck.

 

Stuck is when people call a therapist. It’s after they have tried everything: waiting for things to get better, talking to friends or family, or reading self-help books. The great news is that successful therapy results in your thinking about yourself and others differently. Research shows therapy is helpful 80% of the time.
 
More specifically, I use an approach called Solution Focused Therapy. Most other therapy approaches are problem-focused; they require considerable discussion and examination of distressing problems – of what you want less of, (For example, depression, anxiety, stress, anger, conflict with others). These are the areas of life where you feel most inadequate. Solution Focused Therapy, by contrast, focuses far more on the positive outcome, on what you want more of in your life. It also tunes into your strengths by reminding you of times you’ve been successful, adequate.
