Saryna’s Approach
I utilize CBT and ACT based approaches to help clients change their relationship with psychological discomfort, live meaningful lives, and reduce suffering. By using a balance of being directive and creating space for personal choice, and by holding clients accountable to their own stated personal goals and values, I aim to help clients find workable paths to get to where they want to be. My goal is to work collaboratively with each individual client to determine effective ways to build resilience and a wider repertoire of useful skills.
