Dr. Frye draws primarily from cognitive behavioral and systems theory, as well as other evidence-based treatments including dialectical behavior, parent-child interaction, and mindfulness-based therapies. Her assessment and treatment is guided by a belief in the importance of collaborative problem solving and a supportive therapeutic relationship.
