Do you do therapy ?

Yes, I do cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

What is cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s a form of therapy tailored to change one’s thinking to solution driven.  People feel like victims of their mood or anxiety. Once they realize they are a consumer of the things the world has to offer they have options. Most things we worry about are unlikely to happen or if they did happen we would be OK anyway. More importantly, we can make choices that will likely steer things towards a desired outcome.

Do you write for addictive drugs?

No. That’s our policy as it usually creates more problems. Anesthetizing or overstimulating people with addictive meds is not a great idea.

Do you fill out disability paperwork?

No.  If someone is so impaired by a condition that they are unable to work or go to school, they should be seen in an intensive outpatient setting, as they need a higher level of care.
