Approach to treatment:
In treatment, Dr. Shindman ensures that her clients feel safe by creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. Next, she works with her clients to create and define therapeutic goals. Once therapeutic goals are collaboratively established, Dr. Shindman helps her clients identify the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behavior, laying the foundation for CBT and REBT.
