approach

Dr. Kingsley considers the mind to be multi-layered and believes that by understanding how psychological symptoms and dysfunctional behaviors are both protective and destructive, you and she can work together to compassionately find alternatives. In therapy, she works with her patients to explore what underlies symptoms to achieve a greater understanding of themselves and their relationships. This is pursued through self-exploration within the context of the developing relationship between the patient and therapist, which becomes an agent of deep change and growth.
