What does therapy with Dr. Jessica Haskins look like?

Dr. Haskins believes therapy is most effective when individuals are able to reflect on their own behaviors and focus on areas that they would like to grow and/or change. Therapy with Dr. Haskins is often an active process, with the intention that clients initiate topics for further exploration and engage in meaningful work both during session and between appointments. Dr. Haskins draws from a variety of psychological approaches guided by the concerns being addressed and her clinical assessment of what would be most beneficial to each client. These approaches may include, but are not limited to, positive psychology, solution-focused, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Dr. Haskins also incorporates psychodynamic and trauma-informed interventions into her work.
