The Reflective Eclectic
I provide therapy of depth, insight and relationship for adults and couples.
I’ve done this so long, I’ve developed my own personal approach I call Reflective Eclectic, drawing on a number of techniques, including Narrative , Cognitive Behavioral, Internal Family Systems, Motivational Enhancement, Solution Focused, Neuro-Linguistic, Existential, and Person Centered Therapy, among others, selecting from each as it seems appropriate.
I’ve written a series of essays on the art (or science) of counseling (or psychotherapy). These are the links, so you may read as many as you’d like.
