About me

My name is Rhianna French and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and Nationally Certified Counselor. I have training in many different approaches and techniques to service clients in unique ways that best fit their unique concerns and personality. I take an eclectic approach to counseling matching various approaches and theories to every client's specific need. I often utilize humanistic approaches, which focus on each person's uniqueness and potential. I also have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) in addition to many other techniques.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session I will focus mostly on getting to know you and allow you to get to know me. Questions we will address include the following: What brings you to counseling today? What are your biggest concerns? Do you have any fears or worries about the counseling process? What has your past experiences in counseling been like, if any? How can I best help you be successful? How long do you expect to be in counseling? Are you looking for short term solution focused or are you hoping to have someone who you can speak with and get support from on a long term basis? I will also allow you to ask any questions that you may have about the process!

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I find it best to be genuine in session. This means my style in session is the same as I am in my daily life. I am very laid back and open. The environment I create is a place where people feel just as comfortable telling me about how their day went as they do telling me about the darkest times of their life. I also have a sense of humor and don't take life too seriously.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I serve a wide range of clients. My specialties are Trauma, Severe Mental Illness, Self harm, Suicidal clients, Survivors of various types of abuse and neglect, Addiction, Depression, Anxiety, Sex, and Attachment. I have experience working in outpatient, crisis stabilization, inpatient treatment (both residential and hospital settings.)

My treatment methods

Humanistic

I primarily focus on everyone's experience as a human. I believe everyone desires to live up to their full potential, but sometimes life can give us challenges that keep us from meeting that potential. In addition, each person's concerns are unique and I utilize techniques from a variety of therapeutic approaches to personalized a treatment plan based on each individual's needs.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I have training in ACT techniques to increase distress tolerance and mindfulness.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize CBT techniques to help explore the relationship between thoughts and feelings. This allows us to work together to challenge negative core beliefs and develop new views on the world and self.

Collaborative Management and Assessment of Suicidality (CAMS)

I'm trained in CAMS care. This utilizes a very structured evidence based approach to address suicidality and self harm.

Eclectic

This approach allows me to combine techniques and approaches to develop an individualized plan for each client.

Rhianna has been a breath of fresh air in my life. I have already shed a lot of tears as I am now writing this to you. It means the world to me that I have someone to talk to about just anything. I look forward to many more sessions.

I have tried a few therapists but Ms. French has a certain warmth and understanding that is so very helpful to me. If you are suffering with any kind of PTSD or anxiety, please reach out to her, I finally feel like I have purpose and I will get through this.
