Psychotherapy is simply a deeper, more complex approach to chronic life problems than is "Counseling". It acknowledges that a client's multiple issues are usually interconnected and have common sources in childhood and the family of Origin. Steve Brownrigg chose his specialty of Co-Occurring disorders because these clients can rarely find a Therapist that can coordinate and treat all of a client's issues in one course of treatment. Proper treatment of Co-Occurring Disorders involves the Therapist having multiple Skill Sets and Competencies, such as Addiction/Recovery approaches, Cognitive-Behavioral Tools and Trauma-Processing Techniques.

I believe in the "Positive Psychology" mindset for psychotherapy which means that while we are free to discuss and problem solve specific issues and symptoms you may be experiencing, I am also interested in what strengths, talents you hold as a human being. This rounds out therapy and allows room for you as a whole person to sit and talk in the room without feeling as if all I want to hear about is your problems.
