What Happens During Psychotherapy?

During psychotherapy, our patients at David Salvage, MD experience a thorough and personalized approach to mental health treatment. Dr. Salvage begins with an initial consultation, during which he actively listens and gathers a comprehensive understanding of your life history, ideals, goals, and dreams. Then, Dr. Salvage employs a variety of psychotherapy techniques, each chosen to address particular challenges effectively. Short-term dynamic psychotherapy focuses on quick and focused interventions to bring immediate relief from distress. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps patients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) is particularly useful for processing traumatic experiences. Neuro-linguistic programming works on understanding and modifying behavior through language and thought patterns. Hypnosis can be used to access the subconscious mind for deeper therapeutic work. Additionally, psychodynamically informed life coaching offers guidance and support for achieving personal and professional goals.
