What is your style/approach to therapy?
Dr. Tzall’s approach to therapy emphasizes the importance of the relationship between therapist and client as a direct means of change. He pulls from an attachment-informed, interpersonal perspective that addresses rigid and maladaptive patterns. He provides an empathetic, safe space where clients feel comfortable speaking vulnerably about their feelings, aspirations, and ideas. He also incorporates intervention elements of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), teaching clients how to implement mindful based interventions into their lives. Clients learn how to practice effective self-care and explore different coping skills to use in moments of distress.
How do you determine therapy goals with clients? What does that process look like?
We will work collaboratively to ensure that empathy, validation, and the provision of a safe environment are essential aspects to the positive healing alliance. We examine what you are looking to address and what parts of your self you think need examination. I believe in being transparent throughout the change process so we construct an authentic and coherent narrative of self. Therapy is a place where you learn that what matters to you matters and what is important to you is important simply because you deserve to feel that way.
