Frequently Asked Questions
Strength-based therapy is positive psychotherapy that focuses on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, rather than on your weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings.
Therapy begins with recognizing the need, self-reflection, and a desire for growth. Therapy ends when you have achieved your goals and when you feel confident in applying coping skills independently.
In my individual and couples therapy sessions I establish a collaborative relationship with you, assess your goals, set timelines, and help you explore and develop insights into your struggles. With behavioral science techniques I help you build skills to process emotions and actions which lead to what you want to be.
There is no predefined answer for this, the starting point is weekly, but the frequency varies based on your individual needs and need for collaboration. I am always available for my clients as needed.
