Campbell draws upon Humanistic Theory, Attachment Theory, Neuroscience, Neurolinguistic Programming, Choice Theory, The Human Design System, Positive Psychology, Coaching, Reality Therapies, literature, and Projective Art in the treatment of her patients.
I believe in being open and interactive in my sessions to establish a real relationship with each person. With a genuine back and forth in a relationship I am better able to assess where people are going wrong in their own relationships. I will provide you with practical and usable tools. I am not here to simply listen in each session. People seek guidance to instigate change and my purpose in the lives of my patients is to effect that change. I specialize in helping people through the process of leaving toxic relationships.

I am a humanistic and person-centered therapist, which means that I work in a non-directive, client centered way.
I believe the role of a therapist is to help create positive change by collaborating in a non-judgmental and mutual relationship. I endeavor to help my clients develop self-awareness and achieve their potential, enabling them to find their own answers and make transformative changes. I sensitively deal with individual and systematic/cultural influences to ensure clients’ goals and actions are manageable, realistic, and sustainable. For me, recognizing everyone’s identity and experiences, and inclusion is crucial to implementing strategies and tools that allow each individual to thrive, and to feel appreciated, seen, and heard.

Humanistic Therapists

How does humanistic therapy work?

One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.

Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?

Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.

How long does humanistic therapy last?

The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is humanistic therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
