Appleton, Tricia MD

I am happy to provide information about my therapy practice and myself. Finding the right therapist is key to effective growth and change through a professional relationship. I am a psychotherapist kind of psychiatrist. Our inner experience directly impacts the external world, and psychotherapy is a way to change both for the better. In my general practice I work with adults.

Psychotherapy is self-exploration and change in the context of a healing professional therapy relationship that allows for the creation of a different experience. Accessing the inner wisdom and healing that lies within is a guiding principal for me. My style is eclectic, as I have incorporated what I have found most helpful from training in many types of psychotherapy.

My training in residency was psychodynamic (based on psychoanalytic principals, which is a theoretical background, but does not describe my style), as well as developmental. I have adopted a lot of what I have learned about experiential psychotherapy and the trauma model.
