Clinical Consultation SERVICES
Dr. Jeffrey Binder has over 45 years of clinical experience. He conducts individual adult psychotherapy and couples therapy for problems including relationship difficulties, problems with depression and anxiety, personality disorders, traumas, grief and loss, milestones such as retirement and divorce, job and career issues, as well as other stress-related problems and life challenges.
While conducting psychotherapy research with his colleague, Hans H. Strupp, they developed a treatment model called Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (TLDP), Psychotherapy in a New Key: A Guide to Time-Limited Dynamic Psychotherapy (Basic Books, 1984). This text became a classic, and the treatment model it presented has been widely used. Subsequently, Dr. Binder updated the treatment model for use in therapy of any length, Key Competencies in Brief Dynamic Psychotherapy (Guilford, 2004); Core Competencies in Brief Dynamic Psychotherapy with Ephi Betan (Routledge, 2013).
