Leteria RS Price
Hello, I'm Leteria and I am here for you. Looking for someone who will listen and try to understand? Need help in figuring out what you want or need? Do you want to better understand yourself and some of the decisions you've made or continue to make? Do you want help in communicating better with others? I want to help you understand yourself, your partner and the issues facing you. Let's figure it out together, where it's okay to be vulnerable, to not have to be strong all the time. Let's work on what you need and how you can get as close as possible.
With the help of handouts, music and at times, writing, we will be able to advance the treatment beyond talk therapy alone.
I have experience working with teens, adults and couples. I have worked with survivors of abuse and trauma for over 20 years through child welfare; as a result, I extensive knowledge and understanding of the challenges parenting brings and what trauma can do to the individual and the family unit. My 20 specific years of counseling experience has afforded me the opportunity to work with individuals struggling with anxiety, panic episodes, self-esteem, PTSD, pre-marital counseling, infidelity issues and couples seeking to improve their communication..
First session
During the first session, we'll spend time getting to know each other. We will explore life challenges and address what brings you into the therapy space at this time. We will work on identifying specific needs and try to reduce any anxiety you may have at being vulnerable with a stranger. We will just talk and take time to figure out if this is the right fit for you and if you are going to be comfortable enough to work through issues with me. I hope you will and if not that you keep seeking a good fit rather than give up, there is help available. Now, smile, it's going to be better if not okay.
Strengths
I have the ability to make sense out of what seems like chaos and can help you better understand what may be overwhelming or stressful. I have the ability to put most at ease, and to build the therapeutic relationship so much so that the process becomes less "scary". The healing journey is the greatest strength I bring to the session knowing that you will be able to develop your own strength and continue to grow outside of the therapeutic venue.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
We work towards identifying and aligning personal values to live life based on those values while learning to accept emotions as simply emotions to not be afraid or avoidant of but to move through with the inner strength we all have to overcome adversity. Along with other modalities and approaches we work towards healing and empowering the self to be the best version of the self.
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP)
With this specific modality, we explore and process difficult emotions, uncovering underlying strengths and resources. The goal is to transform suffering into flourishing by fostering emotional healing and growth. Through painful experiences, we will be able to access innate capacity for resilience and develop new, positive emotional patterns.
