About Phyllis Haig:
My counseling style is eclectic, warm, effective, and resourceful, I connect with clients deeply and quickly. Utilizing a variety of state-of-the-art skills (breathwork, body-awareness, EMDR, guided fantasy, writing exercises, homework, cognitive-behavioral, to name a few), I tend to use a brief therapy, strategic, results-based approach. I don’t believe in wasting the client's time in cases that are capable of more rapid shifts and feel that change can usually occur in a brief time when the right tools are used. I also provide long-term, in-depth therapy when indicated. The individuals I see often work on habit and addiction recovery, second stage recovery, trauma survival, parenting and family systems issues, phobias, depression and anxiety, career and personal coaching, dissociative disorders, dual diagnosis, creativity blocks, self-esteem and shame healing, and inner family repairing. The couples who come to me usually work on communication skills, loyalty breaches, sexuality problems, anger management and substance abuse/codependency. As a licensed MFT for 25 years, I have valuable long-term experience in many settings. I have taught university and junior college classes, offered seminars, run groups, and supervised staff and interns. I work with individuals, families, and couples, in long and short term therapy. I offer appointments Monday to Thursday, day or evening hours available. Specialties
