Insight-Oriented Therapy

In an insight-oriented therapy, the the client and therapist look at the present and the past, working to foster a more adaptive, gratifying, and productive future.  It is a treatment modality that aims at gaining a better appreciation of our personal and interpersonal experiences.  Individuals are assisted in developing deeper understandings of their past experiences and present behavior.  Gaining insight into our behaviors by becoming more aware influences our ability to become more productive at work, more relaxed during recreation, and more balanced in our social lives.

During sessions, the client is encouraged to reflect on past experiences and to become increasingly introspective to gain a better understanding of his or her needs, wishes, and desires. Understandably, all information shared in treatment is both private and confidential.  Clients often report personal thoughts, feelings, fantasies, and dreams that can lead to greater awareness of the magnitude of their core conflicts.
