Dynamic Integrative Therapy™
A proprietary therapeutic approach for meaningful, lasting change, built entirely around the individual.
Dynamic Integrative Therapy™ is an individualized therapeutic approach I developed over the course of my practice. It understands a person's difficulties through the interaction of their psychological patterns, identity, relationships, cultural context, and present circumstances, and it brings psychiatric expertise and an evolving understanding of the person into a therapeutic process aimed at meaningful, lasting change.
-
Dynamic: the formulation and the therapeutic work evolve as your self-awareness deepens and your circumstances change.
-
Integrative: the approach bridges psychiatric precision with deep psychological exploration, considering how the different dimensions of a life interact, including belonging, cultural transitions, and the demands of achievement.
-
Individualized: treatment is built entirely around the person, not a manualized protocol.
Because I am a physician, this work can integrate careful medication management where it is helpful, so that the psychological and the biological are considered together rather than in separate silos. Sessions are 75 minutes.
This is offered on a self-pay basis.
What Patients Say
“Dr. Cartwright has a unique approach of thoughtful listening and experimenting with multiple treatment modalities, always trying to find the one that will lead to the next breakthrough. She also thinks about the situation between appointments and comes to the next session with additional insights. She tailors her approaches to the patient and even to the particular phase the patient is in every moment. She has a broad cultural background, personal life experience and high intellect that make her particularly well suited for patients that have challenges rooted in their own history.”
