My approach is to integrate contemporary strategies from secular psychology with
traditional principles from Torah literature. Having been a therapist for over 40 years,
I have learned to use a number of different therapeutic modalities.
In order of their weight in my current practice, these include:
cognitive-behavioral-therapy ( CBT)
interpersonal-communications-training
humanistic/existential/logotherapeutic therapies,
as practiced by Carl Rogers, Irvin Yalom and Viktor Frankl
relaxation training, guided imagery and Eriksonian hypnosis
psycho-dynamic therapy
therapeutic dogs for anxiety and attachment disorders
The specific set of techniques that I use are tailored to the needs of
the specific client.
I help clients to identify and to draw on their strengths in mastering problems.
My particular approach is called “Solution –Oriented-Psychology” because it helps clients
achieve a solution to their specific goals in short-term-therapy,
rather than through a long-term, global restructuring of their personality.
