I work with a traditional social work Strengths Based perspective, which means that I look for what you do well, and how you have successfully coped in the past. With a Cognitive Behavioral structure, we also look at which behaviors you might want to alter, as well as the thinking distortions that tend to be underneath our areas of dysfunction.
