We offer in-person and teletherapy options in select locations.
A consultation with Dr. Fox is a meeting to help you identify ‘if’ and ‘what’ mental health consultations may be present as they relate to your past and present issues and experiences. During the consultation we will examine your core content and surface content and provide you with recommendations and tactical tips to help you gain greater understanding of yourself and your behaviors.
We offer in-person and teletherapy options.
Individual therapy (sometimes called psychotherapy, talk therapy, or individual psychological treatment) is a process through which we work with clients one-on-one in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. We work with couples, adolescents, young adults, and older adults. Dr. Fox and Ms. Phillips focus on personality disorders, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and trauma.
We use a culturally sensitive therapeutic approach to treatment that emphasizes the understanding of our clients’ background and belief system as it relates to their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, or other important elements that make up their culture and/or identity.
Psychological testing can help you identify those issues that adversely impact how you think, feel, and see the world. It is also effective if you’re thinking of starting therapy, as this helps to clearly identify those concerns to be addressed in treatment, as opposed to spending valuable therapy time trying to find out what you should and need to be focusing on.
Psychological testing is not only for initial diagnosis but can provide information on the severity of your identified mental health symptoms and provide a second opinion to the presence or absence of a disorder or disorders. This is helpful because it can provide you with insight into not only the worsening or improving of symptoms, but confirm or disconfirm diagnoses, that impact many facets of your life and relationships.
We do this through using valid and reliable psychological assessments to identify mental health symptoms and conditions, as well as any personality related traits. We will also identify your maladaptive schemas, these are your blueprints for seeing yourself, others, and your life, that you developed growing up. Lastly, we will identify your readiness for treatment and change. Although we recognize issues and problems, everyone feels differently about tackling these issues. Having this insight and being provided strategies to enhance your readiness and manage your mental health issues and your life can be pivotal to achieving your personal and relationship goals.
Dr. Fox offers other licensed mental health providers supervision and consultation regarding their challenging clients and how to work with them to increase the probability of success outcome. During this supervision/consultation, we’ll work together to develop your diagnostic skills, intervention strategies, explore and work through ethical issues, and more to help you move forward with your clients and in your career. Contact Dr. Fox for more information. This can be on a case-by-case basis or on-going.
I’m dedicated and honored to be able to help people help themselves through the identification of personality components
