My treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
This treatment approach allows me to teach the client how to "accept the unacceptable," while providing ways to manage emotiuonal reactions and responses.
Attachment-based
I utilize this approach to assist client's in formulating secure attachments with clinician and other important figures in client's life, thereby impacting client's overall support network.
Christian Counseling
I am a Christian with my own set of beliefs, but I am also working on a spiritual trauma certification as well as being well-versed in assisting client's in leaving the church. I will employ Christian perspectives from a scriptural basis and offer prayer support upon client request.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is utilized in cognitive restructuring, allowing clinician opportunity to teach client how to challenge negative self-talk behaviors and increase more positive, healing self-talk.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT utilizes distress tolerance skills to assist client's in regulating emotional responses and employing additional coping skills effectively yp regulate emotional reactions in times of mere extreme stress.
