VAUGHAN, Ontario - Asking what theoretical orientation a therapist subscribes to will help provide you with an idea of how your therapist plans on working with you. Each theoretical orientation has a set of techniques and strategies to help individuals better understand their problems. At the present moment, some academics suggest that there are over 250 treatment approaches in all. Theoretical orientations include:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
- Humanistic Therapy
- Interpersonal Therapy
- Reality Therapy
If you are experiencing an issue, try to research what theoretical orientation is best for your particular concern (i.e. research suggests that cognitive behavioural therapy works well with individuals experiencing difficulties with anxiety).
If you have any questions about the type of theoretical orientation we subscribe to, please feel free to call. We make sure that we pair our counselling method (theoretical orientation) to your concern. Our goal is to make sure that we offer research supported care.
Please note that advice is not part of the counselling process and no therapist should be offering advice to his or her clients/patients.
