My Approach to Helping

David Sternberg, LICSW, and Kathy Richardson, LICSW, primarily use cognitive-behavioral therapy in working with clients, which means we often highlight a client's negative or distorted way of thinking, which then leads them to a different -- and much more positive -- way of behaving. Mr. Sternberg primarily sees young adults (20s and 30s), while Mrs. Richardson sees children (up to 10 years old) and adults of all ages.
We work from a relatively short-term model, so we usually see clients for 20-25 sessions, although we sometimes work with clients more often than that. We believe individual therapy, as well as couples counseling, family therapy and group therapy, can be tremendously rewarding, even life-changing. We see therapy as very much a collaborative process, so we like to ask clients for feedback throughout the process. We want the client's experience to be as valuable as possible.
