Amy Zauel
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! I am a licensed clinical social worker and enjoy helping others find that resolution to whatever stressors they are facing. I take a positive outlook approach and set my clients up for success! We do everything in “baby” steps because we want to succeed.
Having personal experience in so many of the areas that I focus on with clients is one of my greatest strengths.
I don’t allow my clients to set unrealistic goals and strive to help them find success in even the smallest things in life!
First session
In our first session I want a chance to get to know you and why you’ve reached out for therapy. I want you build rapport and allow you to get to know me a little bit too! We will identify some areas you’d like to focus on first so that I can create a treatment plan and set you up for success!
Strengths
Having personal experience in so many of the areas that I focus on with clients is one of my greatest strengths. When you can walk the walk and not just talk the talk, it can make a difference in how one approaches and treats a client. I’m able to develop a treatment plan that will set you up for success!
Ideal clients
I love working with people of all ages but prefer teens to young adults. Some of my favorite issues to address are career challenges/choices, adoption related issues, parenting struggles, anxiety and depression. I want clients that want to be in therapy and are committed to the process. I love working with young and middle-age adults as well as high school age kids who are seeking therapy.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Primary focus is changing negative thinking and thought patterns into more positive thoughts.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Learning to be present, in the moment. I’ve used this treatment modality for years and use it along with other treatment methods.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
Focusing on present and future circumstances and goals rather than past experiences.
Strength-Based
Through Strength-Bsed therapy focus it put on goal setting, a strength assessment, using environmental resources, hope inducing relationships, learning how to make meaningful choices, and exploring alternative methods for various situations.
