I believe that the most important trait that leads to a successful outcome is motivation to learn about oneself. This is the essence of desire- or willingness- to change. I am trained as a psycho-analyst, and try to apply the essential understanding of people that psycho-analytic theory and practice, even when- as is usually the case- the psycho-analtyic method is not indicated, for reasons of time, money, and/or practicality. I work with all kinds of people, but feel that the common denominator is a strong motivation to examine oneself honestly and forthrightly, and to interact emotionally.
As an experienced psycho-therapist, I have not thought of myself so much as having a speciality, but rather feel pride in being able to help and relate to a wide variety of individuals. I have had particular success with depression, mood regulation, and relationship issues.
Too often, specialization can lead to a narrow approach, rather than a listening stance that tries to find the essence of the individual, not the "disorder" which the person is struggling to overcome, but still finds troubling. Recent theory and research have illuminated the central importance of the therapeutic relationship.
