What it's like to sit with Dr. Bates

She considers the study of human development, the mind, and human interactions her passion. She is well versed in a variety of treatment approaches and has a diverse clinical background. Her theoretical frame of reference is psychodynamic; she also uses other approaches to meet each client’s needs. She believes people are complex and often unaware of the forces that drive or limit them. Her work goes beyond targeting certain symptoms and aims to help people find meaning and purpose, unlock creative potential, and strengthen their relationship to themselves and others. She considers therapy a mutual contract aimed at easing suffering and helping clients live more realistic and satisfying lives.

She enjoys working with a wide variety of issues and focuses heavily on the therapeutic relationship, which allows treatment to be individualized.
