Orientation

Dr. Prince's goal is to create a supportive atmosphere in which clients can learn new ways of coping with challenges in their relationships, work, family, and personal life. She provides effective psychotherapy in the context of a warm and affirming therapeutic relationship. Her approach is integrative, meaning that she utilizes a variety of approaches and integrates gaining insights from the past with making behavior changes in the present. She has specialized training in empirically validated, cognitive-behavioral approaches to the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and relationship distress. Her style is interactive, meaning that she will listen, respond, ask questions, and suggest new skills and coping strategies. Sometimes she will utilize between-session homework assignments and suggest relevant readings.
