Christopher Cuda

My therapy style is warm and interactive and always with a touch of humor. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I also believe directness to show respect for your intelligence and time.

My approach combines

• Cognitive-behavioral – Challenging irrational thoughts and feelings,
• Experiential – Adlerlian involving belonging, social and community linkages,involving cognition, physical movement, social interaction, emotional awareness, consciousness-raising discussions, and self-reflection
• Psychodynamic (explore how reactions to present-day circumstances may be influenced by past events) and
• REBTRational-emotive behavioral therapy, A. Something happens. B. You have a belief about the situation. C. You have an emotional reaction to the belief.
• Reality therapy “here and now” focus on choice, responsibility, commitment, and willingness to change.
• Ross Greene What is difficult? What gets in your way of doing well? Develop practice behaviors and skill building

Listening, understanding and empathizing what is most important to you. Practice behaviors and skill building to decrease or eliminate what is hard for you

The greater the skill, the less the difficulty. The more we learn, practice and develop skills, the more we have the capacity to manage on our own.
