Approach to Psychotherapy
Dr. Kwee’s therapeutic approach is an integration of Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Existential Therapy. These modalities have strong support in the scientific literature for effecting therapeutic change. Therapy with Dr. Kwee tends to be skills-intensive, goal-focused and fairly brief (6 to 12 sessions). The exact number of psychotherapy sessions varies depending on the goals and baseline of psychological functioning that each client presents with. While some clients choose to stay in long-term counselling with Dr. Kwee, most complete a weekly or biweekly course of treatment and continue to maintain contact with Dr. Kwee on an as-needed or maintenance basis.
The rate for psychotherapy is $220 for a 50 minute session.
