Therapy Approach
The
Cognitive-Behavioral Approach (CBT)
CBT is based on the assumption that client's behaviors and feelings
are the result of learned thinking patterns. Most of the time these
patterns are irrational and toxic. This approach focuses on
evaluating the pattern of thinking and feeling and identifying
faulty patterns that were learned in the past. Overall it examines
client's beliefs and behaviors. Negative beliefs lead to maladaptive
behaviors. By evaluating and challenging these beliefs with new
information and self-awareness, more adaptive behaviors can be
developed. This approach is more short-term form of treatment
comparing to other approaches. It is goal-oriented. CBT is
especially beneficial for changing negative and not practical
thinking and habits, learned behaviors, phobias, and many forms of
depression.
Dr. Nazempoor, during the past several years, has found this
approach more solution-oriented, and beneficial to most clients. His
treatment approach is aimed at helping clients who are struggling to
find new ways of thinking to empower themselves and create faith in
infinite possibilities. All they need to do is to be motivated and
change their faulty pattern of thinking. Dr. Nazempoor believes that
by focusing on individual's strengths rather than their weaknesses,
we are able to focus on the inherent tendency of all people to
maximize their potentials. He coaches clients to reach their goals
step by step with high level of enthusiasm and motivation. Working
with people is his passion. His purpose is to do the best everyday,
be the best of himself and help other people to be the best of
themselves.
The Psychodynamic
Approach
Therapeutic approaches differ in many basic ways. The goal of each
trained psychotherapist is to facilitate dynamic change, personal
growth, and rebuild true-self. One approach known as psychodynamic
psychotherapy ( also refer to as psychoanalytic) is based on the
premise that the past significantly shapes the current life. It
examines early childhood experiences and painful memories. A person
may have become "stuck" in any previous life stage. These hidden and
limiting patterns often play out automatically. They may interfere
with person's ability to have intimate relationship with others.
During the treatment process psychotherapist help the client to get
in touch with previously suppressed feelings, desires, and thoughts.
This approach usually is long term comparing to other type of
therapy. This is the treatment of choice for relatively
high-functioning clients who like to know themselves deeply.
Dr. Nazempoor uses this approach in some cases. When issues are
persisting and we do not have measurable progress, he considers
deeper review of childhood problems and patterns of unfinished
businesses. Based on the outcome of his detail evaluation, Dr.
Nazempoor may recommend further psychological evaluation and
possibility of medications.
Dr. Nazempoor believes in holistic approach. There is no one solution
for complex problems. Therefore he uses all available methods to
find all possible solutions.
