Orientation
Dr. Jackson works collaboratively with clients to develop effective ways of thinking, feeling, and, in particular, engaging in their lives. He is a generalist whose practice is comprised of clients who have wide-ranging concerns and backgrounds. Treatment is provided in an open and respectful environment to adults of all ages as well as older adolescents. Dr. Jackson provides treatment that is tailored to his client's presenting problems; in doing so, he emphasizes the use of methods that are supported by research and fosters open discussions with clients about the therapy process. As such, Dr. Jackson practices an integrative psychotherapy that incorporates a variety of approaches, including behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic, and interpersonal methods. During early sessions, he works with clients to develop a clearer picture of their concerns and may include the use of brief tests or questionnaires, when appropriate. Over the course of therapy, Dr. Jackson often works with clients on responding differently to their distress and developing a greater sense of their own values, with the aim of creating a more fulfilling life.
