Personalized Therapy By Dr. Christopher

Our approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that every individual has the inherent strength and resilience to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. It is founded in the belief that every client is valuable, and they deserve to appreciate their value and importance. We utilize evidence-based techniques, such as: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), developmental-behavioral techniques, positive psychology, mindfulness-based interventions, growth mindset, and strength-based approaches – to help clients develop new perspectives, coping skills, adaptive thoughts, and adaptive behaviors!

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Assisting patients in recognizing and confronting maladaptive thought patterns, and replacing them with more adaptive thought patterns, (which has been shown to create more positive emotional and behavioral responses).

Mindfulness-Based Interventions

lowering stress levels, improving emotional control, and assisting clients in developing present-moment awareness.

Strength-Based Approaches

Emphasizing the assets and strengths of the client, enabling them to harness their potential to overcome obstacles.

Positive-Psychology

Increase positive emotion, increase positive / constructive thinking, improve relationships, find meaning, achieve goals

Developmental interventions

further human / cognitive development in areas of identified goals (e.g. social, relationship, career, performance, athletic)

Frequently Asked Questions?

How much time does counseling usually last?

Therapy sessions vary in length according to each patient’s needs. Dr. Joaquim would be happy to discuss this with you since it varies by client.

How do I Pay?

Dr. Joaquim ensures you have the most discrete, private therapy space possible by accepting direct payments from clients. Consequently, he works out-of-network and will not share your information with any insurance providers or other healthcare organizations unless you request this. For example, some clients receive reimbursement for out-of-network therapy.

In this case, Dr. Joaquim will provide you with a detailed invoice periodically, which you can submit to your insurance provider to take advantage of a reimbursement benefit.  To learn more about the details of your particular coverage, please get in touch with your insurance provider to confirm whether or not you have an “out-of-network” benefit.

What if I like to have sessions online?

In order to respect client choices and guarantee accessibility, Dr. Joaquim provides virtual treatment sessions. In fact, this is the most preferred method of therapy that is requested by clients. Dr. J’s clients are typically busy, and appreciate the convenience for virtual meetings.
