Are you struggling with life and want to gain back some control? Have life's challenges gotten overwhelming for you? Let's work together to set your life back on the trajectory you were meant to be on. Hi! My name is Alfred Crixell Jr. and I'm passionate about helping you become the best possible version of yourself. Let's move together towards that goal. For the past 18 years I have worked with individuals, couples, and families in areas such as substance abuse and addiction, depression, anxiety, behavior, life skills, and anger management; as well as couples and marriage counseling in all relationships. I believe that the past doesn't equal the future. You can begin to change your life by focusing on what's in front of you, and not the past. Let's work together and start to make that change, today!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and I'll explain the process of counseling and what to expect throughout the therapeutic journey. It's incredibly courageous to take the first step in meeting with your therapist, so I'll also answer any questions you may have along the way and clarify any concerns. Then we'll explore the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions as a team; working together towards the same goal. I look forward to working with you.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Using evidence-based practices like ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) we'll utilize strategies and techniques to build skills that will help you achieve the life you deserve. For couples counseling, I use Gottman Method principles to help break through relationship barriers. I use Change Theory and Motivational Interviewing as well; specifically for addiction.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
It can be very difficult to take that initial step to seek counseling, and I understand that. That's why I feel really strongly about cultivating the therapeutic relationship. My nonjudgmental and compassionate approach, in conjunction with the evidence-based programs I use, make for a good starting point from which to build and move forward from. ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and CBT treatment modalities have been proven to provide skills that will assist in facilitating this change.
