Adult Individual Treatment
We deeply believe most people want happiness and health. We also think attaining and maintaining happiness and health are generally hard work. Let’s be candid, not everyone is willing to do the work. We at DWW are. Our approach is collaborative which involves you, being the expert on yourself, and the clinician, being the expert on theory, attending, and process. Together we explore reasons you feel unhappy, unsatisfied, and/or unhealthy in certain areas of life. This takes time and close attention to YOU. Therapy is like a class focused on learning about who you are, and how you came to be. Most often, this journey is an enjoyable one paved with realizations, epiphanies, and understandings.
For this journey we utilize the Biopsychosocial Model to understand how you came to be. This model explores the following areas: your biology, psychology, and social environment(s). Viewing you through these lenses allows us to fully see you contextually, inclusive of your genetics, predispositions, psychology, and environments in which you’ve grown and learned. Ultimately, we attempt to support you through a team approach with you being the captain.
Our goal is to improve your overall well-being through self-care. This requires psychotherapy or analysis provided by us, the doctors of the mind who explore the vicissitudes of your psychology, as well as other health professionals. This includes staying up-to-date with your physical doctor(s). If it appears there might be chemical imbalance related to emotional functioning, we will ask you to consult with a Psychiatrist. If we feel other areas need addressing such as a change in diet, relaxing the soma through breathing practices like yoga and exercise, we will refer you to other health professionals. Note, we want to see sustainable gradual steady growth, not quick abrupt change that is unrealistic to maintain and excruciating to bear.
