M ilford Psychological
Associates
is a private, outpatient, psychotherapy practice which began in 1979. We
are independently licensed psychotherapists, who offer services to
individuals, couples, and families experiencing problems that limit their
personal growth, family development, or work effectiveness. For many
individuals there comes a time when problems, tensions, or distress build
up so that a referral to an outside, objective professional is helpful in
this process.
We work with individuals,
couples, or families, as it appears appropriate
to the problems at hand. Psychotherapy encompasses a variety of helping
procedures. We may act as an objective sounding board, because the act of
sharing concerns with another person is therapeutic in itself. We may
offer specific suggestions for solving problems or dealing with concerns.
We may also act to stimulate interchange between spouses or within a
family, clarify messages, or reframe issues. If needed, we may contact the
school or other agencies and professionals with your consent. We are often
in contact with your personal physician or psychiatrist, if medication is
indicated.
D epending on the situation,
we endeavor to provide short-term
interventions. Goals are modified as therapy progresses, and we encourage
your participation in setting goals and evaluating progress. Effective
psychotherapy recognizes your uniqueness as an individual and works best
if we become partners in the helping process. Please call if you have
questions about whether psychotherapy might be helpful for you or your
family.
