Eclectic Therapy

Eclectic therapy is a highly personalized therapeutic approach tailored to meet the individual client’s needs. It combines a variety of treatment orientations, techniques, and philosophies to create a custom program. Rather than adhering to a specific therapeutic approach, an eclectic therapist is flexible, using whichever techniques work best for a client. An eclectic therapist will usually balance listening and advice giving, as well as use all techniques that are available to them to treat their clients as successfully as possible.

Eclectic to me, means a model that allows me to integrate different approaches and theories to best serve my client's needs. I was trained to listen deeply in a very robust, clinical, client-centered, and holistic model of psychotherapy where issues like anxiety and depression could be engaged with from either a psychodynamic perspective or a cognitive behavioural one. When notions from the world of Gestalt therapy are helpful, then I will use those etc.

Eclectic therapy means that I incorporate interventions and techniques from many different types of treatment orientations. I believe that each client needs individualized treatment and do not use a single orientation for this reason. I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness and self-compassion based therapy.

Everyone comes to therapy with different needs and goals. As an eclectic therapy practitioner, I draw upon multiple disciplines and therapeutic tools to address the unique needs of each client, depending on their presenting problem, treatment goals, and personal preferences. I do not believe in a "one size fits all" approach to therapy, and I will draw upon my more than two decades of direct practice experience to work with you as we discover the therapeutic tools best suited to you.

My therapeutic style is eclectic in that I often mix a variety of intervention techniques depending on your treatment goals and needs that day. Some sessions will include mostly reflection and deepening clarity of your inner workings, others might include pyschoeducation and skills building. I like to use infographics to information or to help to link personality traits, communication styles, and symptoms. I also suggest media to take in outside of session to deepen work done in session.
