Direct Decision Therapy incorporates multi-modal behavioral techniques with selected aspects of experiential and humanistic approaches to effectively treat these disorders.
The goal of Direct Decision Therapy treatment is the re-orientation of faulty thinking and illogical behavioral patterns. There is an exploration of past life decisions. This process facilitates change from old, unproductive and isolating behaviors into new, more effective and fulfilling patterns. There is a redirection of choices from no-win to no-lose behavior. New life decisions lead to higher levels of intimacy, enrichment, and fulfillment.

Many people struggle with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, and/or other chronic illnesses. These illnesses create emotional struggles with negative effects on our lives and the lives of family, friends and others. While we seek intimacy and a sense of connection, they seem to continually elude us.
The Direct Decision Therapy Model is particularly well suited for working with mood disorders. For those with mood disorders, thinking is faulty, memory is poor, and decision making is impaired.
