She has worked with a wide variety of people and with a broad range of diagnoses and life situations that therapy can help with. She offers a comprehensive assessment and treatment focused on a client’s individual needs. Dr. Cavnar is empathic and compassionate, and therapy with her is an exchange of ideas, with deep listening and non-judgmental acceptance.
I like to know what worked and what didn’t. What do you feel is going on? I like to get a personal history, including any trauma or childhood events, situations, or relationships that might have caused distress. I will look for connections and underlying themes and how these might be playing out in your life today, exploring these with you. As therapy proceeds, increased trust and understanding allow more sensitive material to come to the surface and, as you come to know yourself better and strengthen your self-compassion, your capacity to heal will expand.
I will listen to your presentation of the situation you wish to address, inquire about past traumas, current support, what about your approach hasn't worked, and what has. I like to know if you had therapy in the past and what you liked or didn't like about that. I want to hear about your family and culture, your friends and partners, and what inspires you in your day-to-day life, and what you want out of therapy.
