Taking the first step is usually the most difficult part. The decision to try therapy takes courage; but can result in the promise of hope for change, insight, a new direction and then finally solutions. I describe my work as insight-oriented, cognitive behavioral, relational and free from blame or guilt. Colleagues and clients have called my style authentic, direct, compassionate and warm. “Dina listened to us and helped us facilitate fair communication. My relationship with my wife is better because we communicate better. Thanks Dina” - JL

Deciding to start therapy is scary, it's intimidating. However, therapy helps in many areas of our lives. So, what can motivate us to start receiving this help? We might need therapy if we are presenting symptoms of a mental health disorder. Also, it may also be because we need help in making decisions, improving our communication skills, improving our self-esteem, decrease symptoms of depression or anxiety. If you feel overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious, or are experiencing a life transition; this might be what you need. When feelings are not clear, the past, present, and future get all mixed together.

Relational Therapists
How does relational therapy work?
Relational therapy was developed by psychologist Jean Miller, whose ideas stressed that having strong connections with others encourages better health and well-being when compared with a lonely existence. Conversely, poor interpersonal relationships do not foster growth and learning. Relational therapy also encourages trust in others and patience with others, along with better communication and less conflict.
Is relational therapy evidence-based?
Relational therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapy. However, relational therapy uses techniques found in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy, which are both well-studied with empirical research.
How long are people typically in relational therapy?
Clients may see improvement after a few weeks or months of therapy. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy can reduce symptoms within 10 to 20 weeks, at 45 to 50 minutes once a week. But like any type of therapy, improvement depends on the person and the severity of the problem.
Does relational therapy work?
While no therapy type will work for everyone, some evidence suggests that this therapy can be effective. Relational therapy can help a person manage problematic relationships as well as the mental health conditions that accompany difficult relationships like depression or anxiety. This therapy type may offer benefits that are hard to measure but can be just as valuable—including feelings of higher self-worth or healthier connections with others.
