Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy Programs
After traveling the Midwest training other mental health professionals in her short-term, cognitive behavioral approach, Telka decided to offer the same life changing information directly to her patients. The idea of "Life Solutions Stress Management Series" was born.
Telka's unique treatment program has been revised and updated to combine her cognitive-behavioral model with the most recent biological and neurochemical treatment philosophy.
Today, "Telka's Life Solutions" is a successful 11-session group and individual treatment program that addresses the most challenging issues:
* Mood disorders: Depression, Anxiety, PTSD.
* Relationship problems.
* Anger.
* Stress.
* Self-defeating behaviors: eating, spending, shopping.
* Poor self-esteem, passivity.
* Dealing with difficult people.
* Inability to forgive.
* Problems with letting go of the past.
