The possibilities are endless when you look at things from a new perspective. Psychotherapy can bring about positive changes. To achieve these positive changes, I use a combination of psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral therapies. My Ph.D. in psychology has been almost 50 years. I still enjoy a collaborative, conversational approach to exploring the private worlds of clients. A "growing body" of research has shown that psychotherapy is better than medication for many mental problems. It is also more affordable and lasts longer than medications.
