Psychotherapy
Dr. Myers is a highly trained professional with expertise in the areas of human behavior, mental health assessment, treatment, and behavior change. He works with patients to foster awareness and insight and to develop healthier, more effective ways of meeting life's challenges.
Psychotherapy is a collaborative effort between an individual and a psychologist. In general, you can expect to discuss the current events happening in your life and your personal history relevant to your issue. As you begin therapy, you should establish clear goals with Dr. Myers. Depending on your specific needs, therapy can be short-term, for a specific issue, or longer-term, to deal with more difficult patterns or your desire for more personal development. Either way, it is most common to schedule regular sessions with Dr. Myers (usually weekly). It is important to understand that you will get more results from therapy if you actively participate in the process.
A number of benefits are available from participating in therapy. Dr. Myers can provide support, and assist with problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, stress management, career guidance, substance abuse and addiction.
