Dean offers counseling for both individuals and couples based on the following modalities.
The goal of CBT is to help you correct patterns that are causing distress or impeding on your ability to function well in your everyday life. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, social nervousness, or obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), CBT may be a good fit.
With ACT, you can learn how to accept the challenges that come with life. Dean may use ACT if you have anxiety, depression, or OCD as it can show you how to embrace your thoughts and feelings rather than fight them.
EFT can help you and your partner build empathy and become more aware of each other’s emotions. If you’re having a difficult time bonding with your significant other and are facing feelings of anger or betrayal, it can be quite helpful.
Through Gottman Therapy, you and your partner can achieve a deeper sense of understanding, empathy, and awareness. Sharing fondness and admiration, managing conflict, and making life dreams come true are all important components of this modality.
Dean believes that each individual and couple is unique and therefore deserves a therapeutic experience that reflects exactly who they are and where they want to go. You can expect him to design an individualized plan to meet your needs, strengths, and circumstances.
Specialization in All Types of Mental and Emotional Issues
Over the years, Dean has helped many clients navigate a broad range of life issues. He specializes in anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, self-esteem, relationship issues, career challenges, and more.
Breadth of Therapeutic Modalities
Dean applies a number of modalities to client sessions to help them meet (or even exceed) their goals. Depending on your needs, he may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). If you opt for couples counseling, he may opt for Gottman Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
Through regular psychotherapy sessions with Dean, you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors with a trained professional who offers the unbiased, emotional support you need to thrive.
Psychotherapy is a strategy you can use to increase your life satisfaction and improve your feelings of self-esteem and self-worth, which often affect your everyday life and relationships with others.
