Psychotherapy
Dr. Altman takes an eclectic approach to psychotherapy. Using traditional talk therapy, Dr. Altman has an interpersonal style, with the positive therapeutic relationship as a starting point for change. Helping patients reconceptualize problems, set realistic goals, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and shift from a negative to positive perspective, are all part of the process. Dr. Altman provides:
- Individual child, adolescent, and adult therapy.
- Parent Consultation prior to meeting a patient for the first time, or in lieu of directly meeting with the patient depending on the needs of the family.
- Family Therapy in the context of the individual treatment in order to help facilitate communication, improve understanding, and resolve conflict.
