I am trained in evidence-based methods but my approach is to look at the individual's strengths. I help them look for solutions rather than be stuck in problem mode. The most common theoretical approaches I use in my work are Solution Focused, CBT, Psychodynamic, and Narrative. I do use other approaches when needed depending on the individual I am working with and what best applies to them.
