That's essentially what I do in therapy by helping others clearly define problems, establish goals and targets, and develop strategies to reach them.
Psychological testing can be helpful in some situations.
My approach to therapy is best described as eclectic, meaning I combine therapeutic modalities in ways that best fit the individuals I am working with and the problems they are experiencing. In addition to my private practice, I teach Introductory Psychology and Lesbian and Gay Studies at Phoenix College. I earned my bachelors and masters degrees at Northern Arizona University. I received my doctorate at the University of Kansas in 1984, and have been a licensed psychologist in Arizona since 1987. I accept a number of insurance plans, and would be happy to discuss fees for services with you.
