Dr. Armstrong’s training in clinical psychology, her theoretical orientation of behavior analysis, and her 40 + years as a therapist give her a strong foundation for working with individuals struggling with a wide variety of psychological problems: depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, eating disorders, and emotional traumas.
Being both a psychologist and a behavior analyst gives
Dr. Armstrong a valuable vantage point: she can focus primarily on an individual’s current functioning/life challenges while also understanding and integrating relevant aspects of their behavioral history. The treatment goal is always to help a client learn new skills that may be foundational for improving life circumstances and increasing feelings of satisfaction and fulfillment.
Her practice currently focuses on what adults experience across their lives: living a single life, relationships, marriage, becoming a parent, divorce, career issues, grief. Currently she primarily sees individuals who are 30 + although she occasionally sees young adults in their 20’s.
