About
At Empower Me Clinical Practice, we believe in helping our patients focus on discovering their own solutions through empowerment and education. This type of therapy gives the patient the power to build upon their strengths by focusing on solutions rather than problems. Dr. LaMotte uses a variety of techniques in therapy to find what will work best for the patient. These techniques are likely to include dialogue, interpretation, cognitive processes, EMDR, re-framing, psychoeducation, behavior modification, self-monitoring, journaling, awareness exercises, visualization, and other thought stopping and mindfulness techniques.
