Dr. Binder has been practicing individual psychotherapy and couples
therapy for thirty-five years. Over this period of time, he has
worked with adolescents and adults of all ages. He has experience in
private practice, medical school outpatient and inpatient settings,
community mental health centers, and private psychiatric hospitals.
Currently, he works with adults in all stages of the life cycle. He
has treated a wide variety of symptoms (such as anxiety, tension,
and depression) behavioral problems, and relationship issues.
However, Dr. Binder always attempts to understand how each person’s
difficulties are influenced by and, in turn, influence his or her
most important interpersonal relationships. He believes that for a
person to feel truly happy and fulfilled, that person must have
satisfying human relationships, in which he or she feels accepted.
Dr. Binder’s approach to treatment involves establishing a
productive working relationship by identifying one or more central
issues that the individual agrees should be the focus of therapeutic
work. Then, through a detailed collaborative examination of the
circumstances that contributed to the development and perpetuation
of the problems, strategies for modifying or resolving them are
developed. These strategies involve new ways of understanding,
reacting to, and managing the previously confusing and distressing
circumstances (whether involving symptoms, behaviors, relationships,
or life realities).
Dr. Binder is an internationally recognized expert in time-limited
psychotherapy, having trained psychotherapists at four universities
and conducted research for a decade in psychotherapy process,
outcome, and training. He has coauthored a classic text on brief
psychotherapy, as well as authored an acclaimed new book on brief
psychotherapy. He has published and presented extensively on the
subjects of time-limited psychotherapy and psychotherapy training.
Currently, Dr. Binder is Professor of Psychology at the Georgia
School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University/Atlanta. He
received his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of
Michigan. He is boarded in clinical psychology as well as a Fellow
of the American Academy of Clinical Psychology.
He is available to see
clients at the Buckhead office.
