Dr. Borenstein’s therapeutic approach can best be described as integrative, combining psychodynamic, internal family systems, and mindfulness-based approaches, as well as secondarily employing CBT/DBT and self and relational psychology, to facilitate client understanding of how past and present underlying experiences – physical, emotional, and sociocultural – influence client thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through the lens of the mind-body connection, certain holistic practices, and empathic attunement, therapist and client work together to lessen client distress and foster client relationships with others and work-life balance.
Working with Dr. Borenstein, clients can expect connection and to be challenged. Through reflection and a touch of humor, rather than merely addressing symptoms, Dr. Borenstein hopes to open the door to greater client self-development and awareness and the creation of more lasting client change.
Dr. Borenstein utilizes therapeutic modalities, such as psychodynamic and relational psychotherapy, mindfulness-based interventions, internal family systems, trauma-informed approaches, elements of solution-focused therapy and child and adolescent therapy.
