More than just "likes," specializations here refer to domains where advanced training and experience are standard, involving thousands of face-to-face hours in each domain, supervision, and ongoing education and training.

General Mental HealthWe do not need to be defined by illness. The average client seen in the practice has a "comorbid" diagnosis (two or more). With a broad scope of topics successfully addressed in the practice, you will get attentive focus on every area of importance- or a referral if it needs separate specialization. See "General Experience" below.
