Individual psychotherapy or counseling can be a very powerful means of producing change in a person. Heritage Professional Associates has many talented and experienced therapists reflecting a wide range of theoretical approaches in helping to bring about change. Most of our therapists are eclectic in approach, meaning that they use multiple theoretical approaches in understanding people. With certain conditions (such as phobias, tantruming children, or children who are refusing to go to school), a more straightforward behavioral approach is effective. For others, a cognitive behavioral approach is helpful (such as dealing with social anxiety, mild depression, low self esteem). At other times, longer term psychodynamic therapy is helpful (to assist in making more fundamental changes to the personality).
