My typical approach is that the first three sessions will be about getting to know the client and the presenting problem that brought them into therapy. By the end of the third or fourth session, I would be able to share with the client the techniques and skills that we would be be using in session and clarification on the short-term and long-term goals they desire.

Groups

Mentalization-Based Treatment for Adults

Hosted by

David Diaz

Through our interactions with others, we experience different interpersonal connections, which can be harmful or positive. Varied emotional states can disrupt mental processing and create potential for misinterpreting information. These miscommunications hinder our ability to maintain relationships, foster deeper connections, and limit our identity and growth. We utilize group dynamics to explicitly discuss our emotional and cognitive processes, allowing the group members to take a curious stance to understand encounters flexibly.
