Deborah Hannah LCSW : Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Most of us would agree that perception effects the ultimate outcome, that in the space that exists between people, sometimes problems arise. I utilize a cognitive behavioral “family systems” therapeutic approach. Based on the biology of human interaction, I view this interaction as circular, rather than linear. It is made up of much more than just cause and effect. Mental restructuring encourages recognizing the unique nuances that exist between each of us.

Client-centered behavioral modification successfully brings about positive changes to these thoughts and/or behaviors and how we choose to react to them.

What is Therapy?

Therapy is interpersonal treatment for problems in living. It involves talking with a trained professional about conditions ranging from depression and anxiety to relationship conflicts and career frustrations. Therapy provides ways to express feelings, understand patterns of thinking, gain perspective on past events and current relationships, set goals and clarify dreams for the future. Therapy can both alleviate pain and suffering and add meaning and richness to life. Therapists employ a range of techniques and methods, some suited to particular mental health issues and some that can be applied to clients dealing with a variety of issues. All Therapists seek to increase their clients’ mental health and to act as a confidential and careful listener. (Excerpted from Psychology Today)

How Can Therapy Help Me?

Therapy can help you understand and reframe your problems and concerns. It can teach you specific emotional and social skills and can help you reap more satisfaction from your work and your relationships. A Therapist’s office can be a sanctuary where you are free to express private thoughts and struggles. Friends and family members can provide excellent emotional support, but a Therapist can give you a trained, and more impartial, perspective on your life. (Excerpted from Psychology Today)
