Dr. Colleen practices from a positive psychology approach- meaning that instead of requiring you to undergo 20 years of therapy talking about what went wrong, sessions are short-term, solution-focused, and focused on what's going right. Dr. Long believes that while insight is important in treatment, some times the solution lies in what the individual can implement in their present life, to better influence their future. Dr. Colleen's initial intake focuses on the areas of the individual's life that need fine-tuning, and then helping the client understand what unique strengths they have to tackle those areas. Through her unique model, she utilizes the principles from her research, to help YOU achieve your optimal level of contentment and bliss. Dr. Colleen is a very action-oriented therapist, meaning that most sessions end by giving the client an assignment for next week. She believes that genuine progress lies in the work of the client and not the therapist. However, happiness and the happiness of her clients is her true passion, and as such- she maintains a weekly blog titled The Happiness Rx.

Starting therapy can often be daunting, so please don't hesitate to reach out to discuss your needs and goals for treatment in a safe environment. I continue to offer a client-focused, personalized approach to therapy utilizing various cognitive and psychodynamic modalities. This may mean addressing early life influence on your current daily function, or specific goals for your relationships with yourself, loved ones, and the world around you. Whether it is solution focus for a specific need, or healing, personal growth, and exploration- positive change is possible and within reach. The client defines both the work and its pace. As a colleague once said, "My job is to put myself out of a job". As such, it is my goal to aid clients in building a strong critical toolbox that can be taken into the world, allowing healing, personal improvement and exploration, emotional regulation, and thus better relationships with self and others. Tele-therapy is available to clients across the Northshore and statewide, so contact me to discuss your options.
