    APPROACH TO THERAPY

    CRD Therapy understands that choosing a therapist can be like finding those perfect pair of jeans. Scrolling a therapist’s bio or website can be overwhelming and, in our experience, can leave you more confused about what you are looking for than when you started.

     

    We use a direct but warm approach and value the ability to be honest in the therapeutic relationship. We know it can be hard asking for what you want or speaking up, especially in therapy. We teach skills to help with this, because we don’t want things going unsaid in the therapeutic relationship that could interfere with our work together or your progress.

     

    We approach our clients and our work with an intersectional lens, recognizing that all aspects of our identity are shaped by our individual experiences, opportunities, privileges, or disadvantages. Our work is focused on helping you identify and live a life aligned with your values.

    ​

    As therapists grounded in dialectical behavioral therapy, we view the relationship between the client and the therapist as a collaborative one between equals. We emphasize non-judgment and take an emotion-centered approach. Sessions are tailored to each individual’s need but often incorporate elements of mindfulness, behavioral exposures, learning of new skills. We are here to help you feel more in control of your emotions, improve your relationships, stop engaging in behaviors that are no longer working for you, move past your trauma, feel more confident, and build the life you deserve.

     

    If we find you have needs that are outside of our area of practice or better treated by another therapist or practice, we will always be honest and provide referrals. We understand the barriers and cost to accessing mental health care in this country and want to help you find the right treatment option.

     

    Please contact us directly or schedule a free 15-minute consultation if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you.
