Many personal difficulties, Adler believed, stem from feelings of inferiority-he in fact coined the term "inferiority complex."An Adlerian therapist will identify, explore, and challenge a client's current beliefs about their life goals.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the treatment most closely associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Therapists practice DBT in both individual and group sessions. The therapy combines elements of CBT to help with regulating emotion through distress tolerance and mindfulness. The goal of Dialectical Behavior Therapy is to alleviate the intense emotional pain associated with BPD.
The passion for becoming a therapist comes from my past experiences. It makes it easier to relate to my Clients. My goal is to assist you with increasing your sense of hope, inner peace, and reaching your maximum potential. I have a genuine desire to help you rid yourself of oppressive outlooks and offer you tools to manage your self-esteem. My purpose and deepest desires are to see people uncover the root cause of their problems, and ways to foster solutions, using a client-centered approach. I want to help you recognize your potential by not giving in to the societal stigma of mental illness.
