MY APPROACHES

What Approaches Do I Use:

Psychoanalysis is a therapeutic approach developed by Sigmund Freud that focuses on exploring unconscious thoughts, feelings, and memories to understand how they influence behavior. It involves techniques like free association, dream analysis, and examining past experiences to uncover repressed emotions and unresolved conflicts. The goal of psychoanalysis is to bring these unconscious elements to conscious awareness, facilitating emotional healing and personal growth.

Gestalt therapy is a humanistic approach that focuses on helping individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and actions in the present moment. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the here-and-now experience and encourages clients to take responsibility for their emotions and behavior. By fostering self-awareness and promoting authentic communication, Gestalt therapy aims to help individuals integrate different parts of themselves and achieve greater psychological well-being.

Solution-focused therapy is a goal-oriented approach that emphasizes finding practical solutions to current problems rather than focusing on past issues or deep analysis. It encourages clients to identify their strengths and resources, helping them envision a preferred future and take concrete steps toward achieving it. The therapy is typically brief and collaborative, with the therapist working alongside the client to explore effective strategies for overcoming challenges and achieving desired outcomes.

The Gottman Method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy developed by Drs. John and Julie Schwartz Gottman, focusing on improving communication, managing conflict, and strengthening emotional intimacy. It emphasizes building a strong foundation of friendship, fostering respect, and addressing negative patterns like criticism and defensiveness. Through specific techniques and interventions, the Gottman Method helps couples enhance their relationship satisfaction, trust, and overall emotional connection.

Existential therapy is a philosophical approach that focuses on helping individuals confront and understand the fundamental challenges of existence, such as the search for meaning, freedom, and responsibility. It encourages clients to explore issues related to life choices, isolation, and mortality, helping them gain a deeper understanding of their own existence. The therapy aims to empower individuals to live more authentically by embracing personal responsibility and creating meaningful lives in the face of uncertainty and life's inherent struggles.
