Individual Therapy
Dr. Scanlan has a wealth of experience in practicing individual therapy. Dr. Scanlan is residency trained in the techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy, supportive therapy, psychodynamic therapy, interpersonal therapy, family therapy, group therapy, and motivational enhancement therapy. In the treatment of addiction he has found the most success with using the principles of motivational enhancement therapy. Motivational enhancement therapy is non-judgmental, non-confrontational and non-adversarial. The approach attempts to increase the client's awareness of the potential problems his or her addiction has caused, consequences experienced, and risks faced as a result of the behavior in question. Motivational interviewing principles are used to strengthen motivation and build a plan for change. Coping strategies for high-risk situations are suggested and discussed with the client. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, directive approach to enhance intrinsic motivation for behavior change by working with and resolving ambivalence.
