Dr. Metcalfe emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship in his work with clients and incorporates several theoretical orientations. He finds psychodynamic theory often useful in understanding the etiology of a person’s problems and also utilizes interpersonal, existential, and narrative approaches to deepen that understanding. Insight alone is often not sufficient in resolving problems, however, and Dr. Metcalfe most often will rely on cognitive-behavioral principals to initiate and reinforce positive change. His warmth and enthusiasm put clients at ease and greatly facilitates the therapy process.
