What's different
Talk therapy assumes that understanding your past will change your present.
For most people, it won't.
You can spend years unpacking your childhood and still wake up with the same anxiety, the same patterns, the same stuck feeling. Just with more fancy clinical words to describe it.
Strategic therapy targets the structure behind your problem: the specific pattern keeping it in place. We're not interested in analyzing for seven years how your mother treated you as a child or ask you to relive a traumatic event over and over with the false hope that one day it will click and you'll "figure it out". We want to identify the inner conflict that's keeping you stuck and resolve it as quickly as possible.
Most issues resolve in 2 to 8 sessions.
That's not a sales promise. It's how the method works when the problem is what it appears to be. Some issues have layers underneath that only surface once you start working. When that happens, we keep going. You decide when therapy ends.
