Reality Therapy

Reality Therapy can be used with children as well as adults. It is an effective form of therapy also known as “Choice Therapy” based on the work of psychiatrist Dr. William Glasser.  This therapy can be done in person or on the phone at a distance.

The task of the counselor is to help clients choose new relationship-improving behaviors that are closer to satisfying one or more of the basic needs in our “Quality World” which includes: survival, love, belonging, power, freedom and fun.

This therapy is based on the premise that we can control what we think and what we do, putting the client in the drivers seat of their life. Little time is spent agonizing over trauma or disappointments of the past although experiences are used as a reference point to identify strengths and move forward.

Once a client gets that they are in control of what they think and do they are free to choose actions that will help them gain experience in relating to others differently.

This therapy is short term sometimes requiring no more than a few sessions to achieve a desired result.
