Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
First sessions are to learn more about each other, identify strengths and problems, and set some mental health goals.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Travis’ method focuses on helping clients manage stress, prioritize their mental health, and prevent personal and professional burnout. Not everyone meets the criteria for a psychological diagnosis, but all people experience stress and anxiety. Stress is a response to a tangible problem like work, finances, or relationship conflict. Anxiety is an internal worry or fear that manifest happen without a trigger. Travis works with clients on understanding emotions, developing coping skills, setting healthy boundaries, and challenging negative thoughts.
