Klugman Psychological Services

People seek individual therapy for a variety of reasons. Often people enter therapy because they are experiencing intense or difficult emotions or thoughts and their usual ways of coping are overwhelmed. Many individuals come to therapy to identify and work toward implementing lasting changes in their lives. Others come to process and work through their reactions to major life events.

​

Our clinical approach is tailored to the individual clients with whom we work. In starting therapy, you can expect an open discussion with us about your hopes for therapy and how treatment might help you meet your goals. We believe that any successful outcome in therapy must be built on a collaborative, trusting, and open working relationship.

 

We provide integrative individual psychotherapy grounded in several evidence-based theoretical frameworks, and can discuss these in further detail during the course of an initial consultation. 

 

• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT): A form of cognitive behavioral therapy that includes mindfulness techniques, specific strategies for developing new relationships to difficult thoughts and emotions, and concrete steps to work toward behavioral change

• Insight-oriented therapy: Exploration of past and present patterns in one's life with a goal of fostering deeper understanding of self and others, leading to lasting change

• Multicultural lens: Exploration of concerns relating to identity development and expression (e.g., gender, race, sexual orientation, religion), experiences with privilege, and individual and institutional oppression.
