Dr. Alan Winder - Psychologist / Divorce & Family Mediator

Hi! I do indeed offer individual psychotherapy, and helping with anxiety is one of my specialties. I use a cognitive and solution oriented approach, meaning that I work with you to identify negative thinking patterns that are at the root of your anxiety, and help you learn to replace these with healthier ways of thinking. Please feel free to reach out if you have anymore questions!

Hi Ted. This is a great question and a very important one for someone choosing a psychotherapist / couples counselor / mediator who will be a good match for them. The best way to describe my approach is solution-oriented - I try to help my patients identify the goals that will help them reach their optimal results, develop a specific pathway to get to those goals, and work with them to get from where they are to where they'd like to be. The above applies to individual psychotherapy or couples counseling; for divorce mediation my approach is practical - to help separating / divorcing couples reach an agreement while avoiding fighting, high costs, and other negative aspects associated with methods other than mediation. These are obviously very general answers - if someone has a more detailed question and wishes to speak to me they may contact me through my office phone or website and I would be happy to communicate via phone, email, or however you feel most comfortable.
