Philosophy:
My approach is not focused on simply reducing symptoms but on building self-esteem, increasing emotional awareness and understanding, and improving relationships. While on the surface many people suffer from similar symptoms, problems, and diagnoses, you can only begin the journey toward an improved sense of self and a meaningful life if your symptoms or problems are addressed from your unique experience.
Childhood histories, current life demands, stressful events, trauma, and relationships all impact who we are and who we become. Sometimes these impacts lead to struggles in coping or not achieving our potential.
For certain people, daily life can be so overwhelming that we feel our sense of who we are is buried or lost. At Advanced Psychotherapy Services, we believe that mental health is improved through the therapeutic relationship between you and the therapist. Through the therapeutic relationship, you will likely develop a healthy understanding of self.
