| Gary approaches psychotherapy from a depth approach to psychology, specializing in analytical and archetypal foundations to growth and change. Regardless of the type of therapy (individual, couple, etc.) Gary's approach to the therapeutic relationship is one of an experiential nature; bringing forth active involvement, investment, and emotionality of the therapist; expression on a human to human level. Adult Individual Psychotherapy: Through an understanding of unconscious drives, self-defeating beliefs and behaviors we can begin to construct a healthy balance in life. Child Therapy: While a similar approach to child and adolescent psychotherapy is used as with adults, a heavier influence on altering thinking and feeling is used in changing behavior and self-esteem; this accomplished particularly through expressive, art, and other types of play therapy. Play therapy is generally employed with children ages 3 to 11, and provides a way for children to express their experiences and feelings through a natural, self-guided, self-healing process. As children’s experiences and knowledges are often communicated through play, it becomes an important vehicle for them know and accept themselves and others. Couples/Relationship Therapy: Gary implores a wide rage of communication building and language altering techniques with couples to help guide them through rough transitions and towards restructuring their relationship. The relationship involved may be between members of a family, couples, employees or employers in a workplace, or between a professional and a client, etc. .Learn more about Relationship Therapy here. |
