Constance Averill
I have been a therapist for over 35 years, and I love assisting people to reach their goals. During my career I have worked with individuals and couples in the areas of trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, depression, and anxiety. I utilize many different theraputic techniques as I do not believe anyone should be pigeon holed into one theraputic method. We are all unique individuals. I also use humor when needed even if it is just to take a breath.
First session
During our first session you can expect me to answer any questions you may have. I will also be asking you what brought you to Grow Therapy and what goals you may wish to achive. Also, what your strengths are at this time.
Strengths
I am very honest and always remind my clients that they can ask me any questions. However, I always remind clients if they don't want to know something not to ask me because I will tell them. In addition to training and working in the area of Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Childhood Trauma, and Physical Disablities, I continue to learn and grow.
Ideal clients
I enjoy assisting clients to explore setting boundaries, improve their communication skills and identify their wants and needs. In addition, I assist clients to identify their theraputic goals and to gain insight as to how theraputic techniques will help them in achieving these goals. Therapy is not just an hour a week. The theraputic process continues for the client outside the session as they actively utilize the theraputic techniques.
Treatment methods
Attachment-based
Attachment based treatment is helpful for clients who may have experienced childhood trauma.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral therapy allows clients to gain a deeper understanding of how cognition and behavior effect each other.
Couples Counseling
During couple therapy it is important for each person to identify their wants and needs in the relationship and how to clarify when communicating.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness -Based Therapy assists clients to relax and take a step back and gain an understanding of the effects of negative and positive thinking.
Narrative
Each person has a story and sometimes the story keeps them stuck. Narrative therapy assists the client to review their life story and make changes in areas they would like to see in the present and future.
