Areas of Practice
ANXIETY
Anxiety is the most common negative emotion. Anxiety works for us in small doses, helping you be more aware of problems. In contrast, in high doses anxiety is debilitating impairing quality of life, shutting you down, making it hard to focus or remember.
PARENTING
Maybe something has happened in your home life to cause some acting up by your children. Or, perhaps it is a normal and expected social-developmental problem. In either case, you might be having trouble dealing with it and have no place to turn. Being a parent is always demanding.
Sex Therapy
Sex is a normal and healthy part of living. Many people are embarrassed or ashamed to discuss something this personal. I am a Certified Sex Therapist from AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists) and an Approved Fellow in Sex Counseling and Therapy from American University.
Psychological Evaluations
Licensed clinical psychologists are trained in psychodiagnostics. I use them as a way to help me help you. It is actually more cost-effective to gather objective information. There is an initial one-hour consultation, and or my reviewing previous materials (You must request them and it is your legal right based on the Health Laws).
Relapse Prevention
Once in recovery it is hard to remain in recovery. Are you afraid all the progress you just made in therapy will slip away? There is help to help prevent it and maintain the progress you have made. A practical problem in mental health care is relapse and its prevention, especially if recently released from being an in-patient institution for substance abuse and other addictions.
MARRIAGE COUNSELING
It is hard to imagine that during a marriage there are not better days than others. On your wedding day, it is hard to imagine that one day you might be seeking marriage counseling. However, things change. We live in a complex world torn in many directions.
Problems In Cyberspace
This is a new mental health problem that I treat. We can now "get into trouble" anywhere. Everyone has wasted time on a computer, when they could be out engaging the world. On the other hand, being online is safe and controlled, so many people go there for what they think are good reasons.
CRISIS INTERVENTION
A crisis captures your full attention interfering in daily life. It motivates you to act. You wish it had not happened, but did. I can help. Maybe something just happened that you want some objective, professional advice about? These crises are not planned; weigh on your mind and require some insight and resolution.
BEHAVIORAL MEDICINE
Some psychologists treat things that you may believe is for just physicians. I work with doctors improving your quality of life. “Behaviorial medicine” is a general term for one of my clinical specialties. In fact, I am the author of five books about the link between medicine and mental health. I can help.
DEPRESSION
If you are suffering from feelings of sadness, despair or troubled thoughts, Dr. Reid Daitzman, Ph.D. can help. Depression counseling sessions provide a nurturing, safe environment where issues can be addressed in a secure and comfortable setting.
Sports Psychology
Most top players or those striving to remain on top use a sport psychologist. There is no stigma. In fact, it is almost just the opposite, an expectation of enlightened coaches and management. What you will learn is part of your preparation for play. My program is highly focused and particular to you.
Executive Coaching
You are a doer and a winner, but need some instant sound advice to guide you, and all this must remain confidential. Or there is a crisis, and you seek to learn from your poor judgment. Welcome to modern times. To make it, and sustain it in today’s globally competitive climate is plain difficult.
Trading Psychology
Traders open to learning about the psychology of the markets will benefit from these specialized services. This is an intervention for any trader in the financial markets, who seeks to control their emotions, reduce losses and let profits run. Trading psychology is part of risk management and an essential factor in trading.
