My approach to treatment generally involves a combination of behavior-monitoring techniques, as well as encouraging the client to develop healthy, resource-based communities. Although there are many approaches one can take to address his or her mental or emotional difficulties, I have found the combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, insight oriented counseling, meditation practices and utilizing resource-based communities to be most successful for establishing healthy lifestyles. This integrative approach further ensures that individuals learn tools to help them cope with life’s obstacles, while letting go of those relationships which produce damaging habits and replacing them with ones that will support beneficial change.
