Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Clients can anticipate , personal history intake , looking at the person in their environment . This is important because to effectively assist you on a therapeutic journey , I have to know what your starting point was. I want to learn your narrative and how it has impacted the personality we currently see. At this point the hope is to begin to build a therapeutic rapport . As when you are comfortable a person can effectively work on inner challenges.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Non judgemental , open warm , respective and intuitive communication.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal client is someone who is motivated , will collaborate and is interactive

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-i)

I had had over 15 years experience working with this modality of treatment. I use this treatment method to assist with with overwhelming problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts.i aim to change how you deal with current negative barrier patterns to improve how you feel.

Motivational Interviewing

We all think we can change things about ourselves or behavior. But what often lacks is motivation. I utilize this intervention as a client centered non-confrontational counseling style for eliciting behavior change by helping clients solve ambivalence

Supportive

I utilize supportive therapy by providing emotional support, encouragement, and validation during difficult life circumstances and and psychological challenges.

Schaune was very attentive and gave honest feedback about a situation that was weighing on me. She provided great solutions while being diligent in her approach. Definitely a therapist I see myself going back to because it felt like I was talking to someone who understood me well.

Schaune is just amazing. She’s genuine, funny, open minded, but most of all, she’s good at what she does. She’s straight forward with me, which is exactly what I wanted.
