Hey there! Welcome, and congratulations on making your first step to taking back control of your life! You are so brave and courageous to be starting this path of exploring the benefits of therapy. The reality is, life is a journey, and we all need help sometimes. We can get stuck, become overwhelmed, or hopeless with everything that life throws at us. My name is Rochelle, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and I am here to support you with the process of getting back on track. I truly believe that in order to experience the best life you can, you must care for all aspects of your health and wellness, which of course includes mental and emotional health. I have worked with a very diverse population including, youth, families, disabled, TBI and aphasia, adults, terminally ill, and elderly. Common areas of focus have included anxiety, depression, stress management, and adjustment. I am huge on meeting you where you are and allowing your time, to be your time. At the end of the day, we are a TEAM! There is only one expert on your life, and that's YOU! I am just here as your teammate to help you navigate and explore the ins and outs of your journey by providing validation, alternative perspectives, and a safe non-judgmental space. **Please NOTE: I am not able to accept minors at this time.**
During our first appointment, we will complete an initial assessment. This will allow us to identify why you are here, and what goals would best serve you and your journey of life.
My treatment methods will be tailored to you and your needs, but I tend to use a Client-Centered approach, which allows you to direct your therapy. I use evidence-based interventions associated with CBT and DBT therapy models. I also use mindfulness, relaxation, and deep breathing techniques regularly.
I believe that the therapist and client relationship is essential to the therapeutic process, and one of my biggest strengths is establishing positive rapport with clients. Being empathic, and providing a judgement free space where you can feel heard! Identifying strengths, and assisting you with exploring self limiting beliefs, and cognitive distortions and addressing the root of these perspectives. Supporting the process of ongoing positive adjustment; whether that be to a new shift or transition in life, terminal illness, new lifestyle changes, or to those who are newly caring for an ill or impaired family member.
Clients who are ready to make change in their lives, and who are ready to be open and vulnerable.

She has a sound knowledge base of experience. She is able to foresee how my actions might impact outcomes I'm having. This is letting me see how I can change these outcomes.
