I prefer to conduct an assessment on the initial visit. I carefully assess the needs of each client first and then select the most suitable therapeutic approach for their betterment. For example, many come to me unaware of their psychological condition. Providing a diagnosis can be very helpful in that it allows the client and their family members to better understand the nature of their struggles; so they don’t have to suffer alone. I value collaborating with medical doctors and psychiatrists, working as one team for the betterment of clients. 

CBT is a treatment to access the left side of the brain while EMDR, AF-EMDR and Resourcing are treatments to access the right side of the brain. The clients readiness and history will dictate which approach of therapy I will use.
