Please take a moment to read about our
strategic approach toward psychotherapy.
Capturing the best practices in neural science, military strategy, human
behavior, philosophy and theology,
The Strategic Counseling Model provides the structural framework to guide
clients through the arduous process of change. This approach
toward healthy change carefully balances a progressive and highly strategic
format while still maintaining the sensitivities needed for a client
centered system of psychotherapy.
The Strategic Counseling Model
is built from the ground up on a five-tiered model for generating motion,
creating action and thus generating healthy change. The five tiers are
neural (brain) science, attachment theory (intimacy), emotional trauma
recovery (PTSD), spiritual awareness and physical health.
The hallmark of Strategic
Counseling is its use of networking with a consortium of leading
scientists. These researchers and clinicians specialize in the areas of
neural imaging (SPECT scan), emotional trauma, environmental stress,
discerning safe from unsafe people, establishing healthy relational
boundaries, creating real intimacy, generating fulfilling lifestyles and
establishing adequate self care. This level of professional networking
includes case collaboration, psychiatric evaluation, psychological testing,
medical evaluation and medication management. This professional feedback
loop is essential in assisting clients toward reaching their established
life goals. In essence, the use and application of this systemic network
effectively role models and reinforces the “team” approach toward healthy
living.
The beginning phase of therapy
provides a detailed explanation of how the mind works. The mind needs a
healthy functioning brain for optimal performance and a meaningful life
experience. The therapeutic process begins by identifying and providing a
means of intervention for areas of neural dysfunction – defined as parts of
the brain that work too hard (diffuse hyperperfusion), just right and too
slow (diffuse hypoperfusion). Appropriate intervention may include changes
in diet (supplementation), generating healthy sleep hygiene, adequate
exercise, relaxation techniques, quality relationship, religious pursuits
and other health oriented behaviors.
The second phase of therapy
utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to reprogram faulty early
childhood beliefs that all of us come to believe. The third phase
introduces a cutting edge technique for reprocessing life traumas. Eye
Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) is recognized as the
preferred therapy of choice for extinguishing the anxiogenic affects from
unprocessed emotional life traumas that we all experience at some level.
The fourth phase of the
strategic counseling model focuses on building skills in discerning safe
people from unsafe people and establishing healthy relational boundaries to
make our relationship more fulfilling and less emotionally damaging. The
result of this phase yields an increase in the number of healthy people we
have in our support network.
The final phase of the
strategic counseling model is centered around increasing the overall quality
of life by building the skills necessary for adequate self-care and making
healthy life choices for the rest of our life.
