Dr. Chemtob on her approach:  My therapy approach involves helping clients to identify goals for becoming healthier, happier, more productive and more supportive in their lives.  I then guide them in developing plans of action for reaching their goals, in locating resources that can help them reach their goals, and in tracking the progress they are making in reaching their goals over time.  I also make a number of clinical tools available to my clients to help them with their work in and outside of the therapy session.  I believe that going through the process of therapy has many benefits.  These benefits include learning how to reduce stress and “distress” in our lives, as well as learning ways to resolve conflicts in our relationships. I also believe that a strong, positive relationship between therapist and client provides the best environment for getting the most out of the therapy process.
