"In your first session we will clarify a plan and strategy that works for you. My certificates, training and integration of various modalities from Person In Environment to TF-CBT, DBT, EMDR, Music Therapy and Art related therapies help me to help you. While I often fall back upon CBT strategies, all plans are developed using evidence-based strategies and are supported by standardized scales."
