Dr. Taustine’s approach to understanding people is grounded in diverse psychoanalytic and psychodynamic theory, which basically means that she believes in both conscious and unconscious motivations for our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Not every patient wants or chooses to work in this way, and her skillset also includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), therapeutic hypnosis, a modified dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) approach, various couples therapy techniques, holistic approaches, integrative treatment, humanistic and existential modalities, and life coaching (which is not covered by insurance, because it is not classified as psychotherapy).
