​​APPROACH

 

Dr. Sidon approaches the practice of psychology using a client-focused approach in which trust and support are of primary importance to healing. She believes that increasing self-awareness alone is often not enough to interrupt negative patterns, and so she uses a combination of self-exploration and research-supported behavioral interventions to help you create long-lasting change and guide you towards a life you value. She will help you to increase your ability to tolerate life's difficulties through a balance of acceptance and change. 

 

Dr. Sidon believes that each individual is different, and so your treatment plan will be determined to meet your needs, wants, and readiness for change. She uses a variety of research-supported cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and behavioral therapy (BT) techniques including Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in the context of a supportive therapeutic relationship.
