(he/him)
New to Grow
I am 35 y/o male with lived experience who is very open minded and yet also have 15 years experience working with every type of person without very many exceptions of not clicking.My goal is not to be a life-long friend but to help solve what problems you have.
Depends. If there is a pressing issue we can jump straight in, otherwise i like history gathering and building rapport
My laid back and cultural experience. I have worked well with everyone from a Vietnam veteran to a closeted nonbinary individual.
I am a 35 y/o male who has lived experience and enjoys helping others. I have 15 years of experience in the field of addiction and mental health treatment and have found a rhythm that seems to click with most people. I am very laid back but am take ethics and confidentiality very seriously. My ideal client is one willing to be pushed and work towards a goal. I love friendships but i fully believe therapy should be used to work toward a goal and to grow/fix the issue, not just be friends.
EMDR
informal/laid back but very professional I have perfected my approach to dealing with problems ranging from severe trauma to "feeling lost" - i enjoy a eastern philosophy approach (which CBT, DBT, and ACT are based on)
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Radical acceptance is a game changer, things do not exist the way we think they do
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Basic but a westernized version of learning how our behaviors emotions and thoughts affect ach other
Couples Counseling
Love couples work, taking sides is not something i do, sometimes having a mediater is all that is needed but i do utilize Imago practices.
Existential
Something i am personally interested in and have found modalities that are useful in dealing with these types of dilemmas
