REFLECTIONS ON PSYCHOLOGY AND THERAPEUTIC PROCESS

Advances in psychopharmacology coupled with my professional experience treating patients who have problems with anxiety, attention, and mood led me to appreciate how medication can play a necessary but not always sufficient role in helping patients achieve their treatment goals.

After our initial 90-minute appointment, and assuming there is a good fit and connection between us, the next step in my process – whether for psychotherapy or psychoanalysis – is to do a more formal assessment using objective, normed, standardized, reliable, and valid measures.
