Hi! My name is Semir. Are you looking for a way to develop skills to overcome anxiety, depression, and other issues within your life? Well, together we can work on creating a plan to achieve your goals. Therapy is a collaborative effort we will focus on catering it to your needs. Whether you have anxiety, depression, struggling with substance use, trauma, and mood disorders. We can develop strategies to empower you to be the best you. I have 4-years of experience working with those suffering from trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and other forms of issues. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to address a variety of issues. I provide EMDR therapy, CBT therapy, or DBT therapy depending on your needs. I believe what makes therapy successful is the relationship you form with your therapist. Therefore, my approach is to create a safe, and empowering environment for you to feel supported. Seeking help can be a scary first step but it is the first step to positive change. If you feel ready to make that first step, let's get started!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Some of my biggest areas of expertise are various forms of trauma. Whether it be simple Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Each requires its unique plan to address. I also have extensive experience in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to work with those struggling with anxiety, depression, other mood disorders, and personality disorders.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful or harmful ways of thinking that influence our emotions and behaviors. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy works well for depression, anxiety, communication issues, and a wide variety of other things.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy focuses on intense emotions, and practical ways to manage or change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy works well for mood disorders, suicidal ideations, personality disorders, and substance use.
