More long-term therapies consist of insight-oriented or psychodynamic approaches, relating past experience and resolving past and/or present conflicts and/or trauma in order to deal more effectively with present-day functioning. Intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships are focused upon, as well as examining one's spiritual and physical functioning, since all are highly interrelated.

Psychological evaluation and assessment and group therapy have also been area of clinical emphasis.

John Sabin, LISW, CHt, has been influenced by the study of dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused therapy, family therapy, and hypnotherapy. Dialectical behavior therapy makes use of present-moment awareness, a nonjudgmental attitude, and practical coping and problem-solving skills. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes helping clients to envision the future they want to create, and then helps them discover their own unique path toward that future, building upon their strengths and values. Family therapy reveals the way an individual’s problems and strengths can be understood within the network of that individual’s relationships. Hypnotherapy makes use of deep relaxation and positive imagery to bring about change. John is currently studying EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a new approach to the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder.

Mr. Sabin received his Master's degree in Social Work in 1990 from New York University, and his Bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies: Buddhist Studies and The Psychology of Health and Healing, in 1987 from Naropa University, in Boulder, Colorado.
