My treatment methods
Eclectic
Therapy to suit the individual rather than adhering rigidly to one specific therapeutic model. This flexibility allows therapists to provide more comprehensive and effective treatment that meets the diverse needs of clients.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
1. Conduct a thorough assessment to understand the client's presenting issues, underlying beliefs, and behavioral patterns. 2. Establish specific and achievable goals for therapy based on their identified concerns. 3. Sessions are structured and goal-oriented, focusing on addressing specific cognitive and behavioral targets. 4. Discuss progress and adjust interventions as needed to ensure effectiveness and relevance.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I work with clients to identify their goals, explore times when the problem was less severe or absent (exceptions), and identify small steps towards change. • Assess clients' perceptions of progress and readiness for change. This helps track improvements and guide further goal-setting. • Have clients to imagine their preferred future without the problem, which often reveals insights into their aspirations and desired outcomes. • Emphasize clients' strengths, skills, and existing resources to empower them in problem-solving and decision-making. • Throughout the therapeutic process, I gather feedback from clients to ensure the approach is effective and aligns with their evolving needs and priorities.

After checking Regina's credentials she had what I was looking for in a therapist . Most important was how long she had been a therapist. I wanted a black female that I felt comfortable talking to. I was very please with my session.
