Dr. Packard is a Modern Psychoanalyst and Licensed Mental Health Clinician. He has demonstrated an unique ability to integrate various forms of therapy into one unified approach; a blend of cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapy for problems of everyday life. Why use Integrative Psychotherapy? Most clinicians know that no one single theory or therapy works for all clients, all problems or situations. However, the vast majority of therapists strongly adhere to one particular approach which is fine if their approach matches the client they are seeing, the problem they are treating, where the client is in treatment, and so forth. In Integrative Psychotherapy, specific techniques are prescribed/matched to specific client's needs, problems, situations and the client's prevailing attitude/preference. The focus is on what works for this particular individual, with this particular problem, at this particular time. This type of approach increases the probability of successful treatment.
