Bradley’s Mental Health Therapy Approach & Current Work
Bradley utilizes empirically-based treatments and helps patients by teaching new skills, building distress tolerance, enhancing awareness and communication, facilitating personal insight, and challenging maladaptive relationship and thinking patterns. Bradley employs an active therapeutic stance to facilitate long-lasting, positive change. With formal training in several theoretical orientations (i.e., cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, existential psychology, psychoanalysis and humanistic psychology), Bradley is able to integrate different treatment approaches for the benefit of each patient. She has specialized in dual diagnosis issues where self medication was indicative of underlying mood disorder or trauma. She has successfully treated many people suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and childhood abuse with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
