The Fun Stuff
Erin Dilollo
I take on an integrated approach to psychological techniques and modalities. This will allow me to customize my approach to each client, as every person has their own goals in therapy.
I specialize in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). CBT will be integrated into practice by using evidence-based approaches to establish healthy patterns of thinking and provide techniques and interventions to improve overall well-being.
DBT presents similar objectives to CBT, while adding a mindfulness approach. I will integrate this into practice to introduce acceptance and change into your life. Some specializations include feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and more.
