- 2. therapyintoronto.com Psychotherapy Psychotherapy is a treatment process that occurs between a therapist and a patient who meet for the purpose of having a relationship where exploring the patient’s life and mind is the primary activity. The goal is often a significant reduction of the patient’s symptoms and an overall improvement in their lives. Psychotherapy does not directly teach you or tell you what to do to resolve your problems. Psychotherapy is a collaborative meeting of two minds.
- 3. therapyintoronto.com Adult-therapy Adult therapy comprises about half of my practice. I treat a wide variety of issues, including work and relationship problems, depression and anxiety, addictions, Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and so on. I also have a special interest in working with patients experiencing psychotic symptoms and Borderline Personality Disorder, mainly because I believe these patients can get better without medication, and this is not widely known.
- 4. therapyintoronto.com Therapy-for-children Child and adolescent therapy comprises about half of my practice. In my child therapy practice I see infants and young toddlers with their parents for a variety of issues including eating and sleeping problems, attachment-related concerns, and aggression, among others. Parent-Child play therapy (play therapy is defined below) may be recommended for toddlers under 3 years of age. Parent- Child Play therapy is regular play therapy with the parent present in the room as a participant. Also, parent counselling and guidance is usually an important part of any therapy I conduct with a child or adolescent.
- 6. therapyintoronto.com couples-counselling Couples counselling is similar to marital counselling, however it is not limited to married couples but is open to any couple who are in a relationship. I have worked with couples who have been together less than one year, as well as couples who have recently moved in together, become engaged, had a child, or are blending children from previous relationships. I have also worked with several LGBTQ couples, as well as couples who are going through a separation, developing a custody and access agreement, or are managing a terminal illness in one of the partners.
- 7. therapyintoronto.com Family-therapy Family therapy is intended for two or more family members, as opposed to individual therapy that focuses on just one person. Family therapy can include a whole family or just those members of the family who require assistance with a specific problem or a chronic difficulty in relating to each other and living in harmony. Family therapy can include young children, teenagers, and grown children and their parents.
- 8. therapyintoronto.com ADHD-TREATMENT Many children and adults cannot sustain attention, are distractible, procrastinate, are disorganized, can't relax, and generally feel they have lost control of their lives. When these symptoms are serious psychiatrists call them ADD and ADHD. In my view, these are regulatory disorders that often overlap with anxiety. The roots of ADD can often be traced to early childhood, which is why thorough developmental history-taking is so critical. History is the foundation that tells us how we got here. If the foundation is damaged, whatever is built on top is weakened.
- 9. therapyintoronto.com ADHD-TREATMENT The terms psychotherapy and counseling are very similar. For adult therapy and family therapy, both terms refer to an emotionally focused therapy where verbal discussion and exploration between therapist and patient is the main activity and cause of change. The goal is symptom relief through insight gained through the therapy as well as emotional support and guidance offered by the therapist. In therapy for children, the psychotherapy takes an additional form, called Play Therapy, where the use of toys and creation of stories and symbolic themes supplements the use of verbal discussion about the problem at hand.
