Eclectic

Eclectic therapy integrates a variety of approaches and philosophies in order to create a treatment program to meet the individual client’s needs. An eclectic therapist may have a favorite technique, but they will often employ all that are available to them in an effort to treat their clients as successfully as possible. Eclectic therapy, usually balanced between listening and advice giving, is highly personalized and can be beneficial for a variety of mental health problems or emotional stresses.

I do not believe there is one single approach or theory that works for everyone in every situation. Consequently, I find it is best to have a diverse understanding of theories to incorporate a variety of therapeutic principles and philosophies in order to create the best treatment/approach to meet the needs of the client.

I believe in meeting clients where they are at and helping each and every person succeed in therapy. Sometimes that means using different approaches, such as CPS (Collaborative Problem Solving), expressive arts, solution focused, motivational interviewing or a narrative style.

Professional Counselor Associate

My main clinical approach is an integration of psychodynamic (working through influential and unresolved issues from early development), existentialist (finding meaning in our lives), person-centered (congruency between how you see yourself and how others see you), and Core Energetics styles of therapy (somatic focus on finding and unblocking stuck energy in the body, with a goal of greater connection to a unified consciousness, defined as “spirituality”), with empathy and mindfulness.

I don't believe that there is a 'one size fits all' theory of counseling that works for all issues. I believe that being person-centered is essential to every therapeutic relationship and provides the basis for change to occur. Sometimes, a CBT technique could help, sometimes an an attachment based intervention might work - I attempt to sit with clients and work with what seems best for them.

This style best describes my work after 35 years. I do not want to imply that I have a lack of interest in specific approaches, but it is important to adapt my approach to the personality, strengths and needs of my client. I like to begin with the simplest interventions first and progress through relational and internal dynamics as effective and welcomed by the client. My underlying belief is that human well-being is supported through a sense of internal coherence, meaning and connection.

Erik Patterson (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

I draw from numerous modalities that I have studied and used. I deeply believe that effective therapy requires a flexible, rather than dogmatic approach. The process of getting to know you and your specific situation is an essential prerequisite to developing an approach. While I have extensive knowledge and experience with many modalities, there are some approaches, such as EMDR and DBT, that I cannot provide. In general, I lean into approaches that emphasize "client centered" care.

I think of it as integrative rather than eclectic. Some clients need to vent, some want to make small changes, and some want to make big changes. I meet my clients where they are. I incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, narrative therapy, EMDR, polyvagal theory and neurobiology, IFS, existential therapy, emotionally focused, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy into my practice, depending on what I feel would be most useful for the client.

There are many theories and types of therapy that can be used when working with couples. I find that no two couples are a like, nor or the two individuals within that couple alike.

I tend to draw from many different theories and perspectives as I have not found one particular method that suits all or most clients. I appreciate the many theories and interventions I have had exposure to and have found most to be useful in some way for some clients. I work instinctively relying on the relationship built and the requests that clients make such as needing a particular understanding or type of skill in order to determine which approaches to draw from.

An eclectic or integrative therapeutic approach allows the therapist to adapt to your unique needs depending on your goals, what has brought you to therapy and your expectations. The therapist will customize your treatment plan using a method or combination of methods that have been shown to improve the issue or situation which you are wanting to work on.

I find that the relationship that is able to occur between the therapist and the client is going to have more to do than any techniques used which is secondary. My 'eclectic' approach has allowed me to draw upon many years of experimenting with what works, therapy-wise. It doesn't have limits to a particular style so I'm free to bring the best to my approach. I am continually evaluating with the individual what is needed to bring a greater sense of peace in body and mind.
