Over the past ten years, Dr. Schlichting has “broken the box” of traditional talk therapy to develop a new model (i-therapy) for change which is based on recent developments in neuroscience. Brain-based i-therapy is active, dynamic, and collaborative; this therapy requires discipline, practice, and collaboration. I-therapy is an effective, short-term treatment that is strength-based and goal-oriented.
