Dr. Telfeyan sees each person as an individual with their own unique life experiences and circumstances. She focuses on the strengths of each client in order to help them better cope with difficulties while setting short- and long-term goals to manage problems and find solutions.
Dr. Telfeyan employs narrative therapy to help people tell their stories in a healing and meaningful way. Self-expression is an important aspect of treatment: Describing your feelings, thoughts, values and attitudes in your own voice often alleviates depression and anxiety.
