LMFT, 13 years of experience
Hi, I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist for the past 13 years. I graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies in expressive arts therapy. I also have lived in a Zen Buddhist temple to do residential practice for five years. My goal is to help people feel better as soon as possible. Usually by the time a person enters therapy they have been under stress that has been building for a while. I help people identify and clarify what their goals are and present interventions that I have supported people using that help them feel better.
In the first session, I will be curious as to why you are seeking therapy at this time. I will probable ask a lot of questions to get to know you and to get a senes of how I can best help you. I also, am very open to questions you have about my therapeutic skill and experience. I believe therapy works best when my client's know why I am suggesting an intervention and how it will help them. I encourage questions from my clients about what we are doing in therapy and why. I believe this openness creates the strongest healing space.
Having been licensed for past 13 years, I have developed knowledge of many different ways to help people feel better. I see myself as a facilitator of change and the one in charge of suggesting different interventions that I believe will be helpful. I encourage my clients to he honest with me about their progress so that I can adjust and suggest different interventions that may be more helpful to a person.
I am passionate about working with a wide age range of adults. I helped people make career changes, change negative thinking patterns that are not working for them anymore and increase an overall sense of well being in the world. The client's I work with are usually motivated to make changes and they need support developing skills to help them achieve their goals.
I believe that mindfulness-based therapy helps us sharpen our attention to what thoughts we are having with out acting on them. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions that are supported by increased awareness of thought patterns and negative thinking.

Lamont was very engaged and listened to both sides. We both found our first session helpful and looking forward to Lamont’s advice to help guide us to repair our relationship.
