My Philosophy
Psychotherapy is an active process for both client and therapist. The most important predictor of success in psychotherapy is the establishment of a solid working relationship that offers you freedom and safety to talk about your experiences and beliefs that may have been previously avoided, unresolved, or considered uncomfortable as a topic to discuss with friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, or family. As a therapist, I am dedicated to creating an empathic, safe, and highly confidential “holding environment” that offers you an opportunity to work on reducing emotional distress and make better personal choices. I am highly dedicated to providing you with a comfortable, supportive, and collaborative environment.
I am trained in cognitive-behavioral therapy, applied behavioral analysis, neuropsychology, and psychoanalysis. My interventions tend to be inclusive and can involve one, or all of these methods depending upon what would be most beneficial for you. The fields of humanistic and Adlerian psychology have also greatly influenced my approach as a therapist. As a result, when I am asked what my theoretical orientation is, I identify myself as “eclectic”. My experience has taught me that there is no singular “best” approach. Only what would be best for the individual seeking help. The benefit of my diversified training is that I am able to cater my interventions to meet your unique and specific needs.
Mr. Haddock has extensive education and training in psychology, marriage and family therapy, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, and behavioral studies and holds advanced degrees in Marriage & Family Therapy.
