Therapy should be interactive and dynamic and this is generated from focusing on a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach with a strong grounding in Strengths Perspective. A variety of issues to include Depression and Anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, men's issues, and personality disorders are areas in which I have particular experience in treating. The relationship between therapist and client should be one of trust and competence and it should promote open communication and honesty for change to occur. I look forward to working with you and helping you through this process.

George Kayser, LMFT
I work with couples and individuals on relationships and sex. I see mental health as a deeply relational concept . I draw from systems theory and solution-focused brief therapy. I pay close attention to what’s already working and to the changes you want to see. I assume that change is already happening in some way. Above all, I want therapy to be an experience where you’re met with compassion and belief. We’ll start with your best hopes, which is to say what you’re really wanting from therapy, and I’ll stay focused on those hopes with you throughout the therapeutic process.
