At Forward Thinking Psychological Services,
we believe that treatment should:
Enhance your ability to live a life in line with your values
Mental health issues can pull us away from the things we value most in life - friends, family, work, activities. Treatment will often involve hard work and facing things that you might have been avoiding.
Therapy will help you to move through what is difficult and to re-discover the things in life that make your day worthwhile.
From smaller goals to larger accomplishments, therapy will enable you to unhook from thoughts and feelings that are pulling you away from the life you want.
Teach you to become your own therapist
We deliver treatment that is evidence-based and time-limited to allow you to gain skills and strategies to one day take the reins and become your own therapist.
Therapy should never be a mystery and it should not be something that magically happens to you. We believe that therapy consists of collaboration between therapist and client, skill building and independent practice.
Over time, you will have everything you need to overcome whatever comes your way!
Be collaborative and engaging
Therapy is about us working together as a team.
We will decide together how to best approach your difficulties and move forward in a manner that best fits your needs. Each session will cover joint agendas from both therapist and client in order to ensure the treatment is individualized and productive.
Consultations
Our therapeutic process begins with a brief consultation with Dr. Taube-Schiff or one of her associates..
During this call we will discuss what you have been experiencing and whether our practice will be a good fit for you.
