My Style
My therapy style is a direct reflection of who I am as a person. I strongly believe that therapy needs to be tailored to each individual that visits my office. I do not feel that any one approach will solve every problem or concern, but I do use several evidence-based techniques to help each of my clients. I practice from cognitive-behavioral (CBT) framework when appropriate, but also borrow approaches from humanistic and other person-centered therapies.
I pride myself in being an authentic and straight-forward person. At times my style is very transparent, which I feel can help you as a client. I ultimately see my role as a therapist is to empower you to become your own therapist, and my aim is to help you move towards solutions and problem-solving that will assist you far beyond our time in therapy.
I feel that at times therapy can be very brief and solution-focused, and at other times our very innermost workings, our thoughts, our behaviors, our relational styles, and our coping styles must be evaluated and addressed in order to meet our ultimate goals and desires.
I welcome anyone to give me a call or contact me to discuss my therapy style. I am more than willing to discuss what therapy might look like for you on a personal level.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. I hope I can get the chance to meet you and assist in some way.
Take care,
Dr. Vincent Miles
