Hello! My name is Denise Schuster. I am a licensed professional counselor in Ga. I have been in practice for many years. I work with people who have depression, anxiety, marriage problems, addiction problems, weight problems, general life problems or adjustment problems to specific life events. I often use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) with my clients as I believe how we think about things affects how we feel. I also like to encourage people to eat healthy, exercise and get good sleep as I believe these go a long way in helping not only our physical health, but our mental health too.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I like to get to know a person a little, first, by finding out, of course, what they are seeking therapy for and a little about their childhood, current marital status, if they have children and how their relationship is with family. I ask about employment and if they like their job and who they consider their support. I also tell clients we will only talk about what they are ready to talk about, when they are ready. I am always open to any questions they may have about how therapy works.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe I am easy to talk to and provide a relaxed atmosphere.
