Approaches to psychotherapy fall into five broad categories: Psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapies, Behavior therapy, Cognitive therapy, Humanistic therapy, and Integrative or holistic therapy. While one individual(s) may use the Humanistic Approach another may benefit more from Cognitive therapy. This will be determined once an assessment is complete and several initial sessions. Once we figure out which type is best for you, it will be easier to structure your treatment.

Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy or counseling, entails the use of verbal communication between a qualified mental health professional (psychotherapist) and an individual, couple, family, or group. Psychotherapy's primary objective is to assist individuals in addressing and overcoming emotional and psychological challenges, enhancing mental health, and enhancing their overall well-being.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

There is a world of difference between psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis requires many hours spent "on the couch" going over and over your past, your childhood, etc. Psychotherapy is different. The only time we go back and look at the past is if there's reason to believe it's interfering with your ability to function at work, home, or in relationships the way you would like to. In my office we look to understand what challenges you are having, come up with the most likely reasons for these challenges, and work to fundamentally change or heal them, not learn to just better "cope" with them.

Psychotherapy offers significant benefits by providing a safe space to explore and understand emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. It helps individuals develop healthier coping strategies, improve relationships, and gain insights into the underlying causes of their challenges. Through therapy, people can work towards personal growth, enhanced emotional well-being, and long-term positive change, making it a valuable tool for improving overall mental health.
