All psychologists are trained in general therapy. This includes an education in Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Family therapy, Gestalt therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Humanistic therapy, Client-Centered therapy, Existential therapy, and several other therapuetic processes. There are also sub-specialties within psychological practice. Psychologists frequently choose to specialize in a subfield that is focused on a specific subject within psychology. Pediatric psychology (work with children and adolescents) requires specialized training in addition to the normal doctoral program. Other areas of specialization may include trauma work, LGBT issues, brain injury, neurological conditions, addiction, health psychology, forensics, and geropsychology. Within these fields of specialization there are sub fields of focused experience. For example, a pediatric psychologist may specialize in working with children who are sexual offenders or a trauma psychologist may be credentialed in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing).

Short term counseling may consist of 1 to 3 sessions sessions wheras long term couples therapy may consist of between 12 to 24 sessions. We also provide brief focused solution couples therapy.

 

Couples counseling tends to focus on learning new coping strategies for present problems, wheras, couples therapy focuses more on seemingly intractable negative patterns in a relationship history, where emotions are the target and agent of change.

 

Marital therapy can refer to either or some combination of both of the above.

 

 

 

HYPNOTHERAPY SERVICES

 

Hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy used to create unconscious change in the patient in the form of new responses, thoughts, attitudes, behaviors or feelings.. A feeling of deep relaxation and open mindedness is created that helps a person to become willing to incorparate a new way of seeing an issue. It is not at all what is shown in stage performances. Patients remain completely aware and in control of there actions.
