LMHC, 7 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello. Welcome! I am so glad you are hear and taking that first step. My name is Jade and I am a licensed Counselor in Indiana. I also have a masters degree in Behavior Analysis, making me a specialist in behavior change. I work with a wide variety of ages of clients, and am fluent in working with a large domain of clinical issues. I am very direct in my approach with clients, and focus on accountability, actionable change, routine/lifestyle changes, goal setting, homework, and healthy living. I also assist clients with processing trauma or stuck points that are affecting them from meeting their goals.
Our first session, we will review Informed Consent information and answer any questions. We will go over what to expect in treatment with me and review the reason you are seeking treatment. I typically will also complete with you some assessments to get to know you better, and by the end of session, set goals you would like to accomplish within the first month together.
My strengths as a therapist are that I am always open to feedback. I can shift directions with you. I am resourceful and will always send you additional resources that I feel will help you. I am personable, and I will always work as hard so you to help you meet your goals.
My ideal client is someone who is still exploring themselves or has made the decision to take actionable steps to improve themselves. I work best with clients who take feedback, are open to sharing personal details with me so that I can understand their life story, and are ready to do the work, including homework.
I use a wide variety of modalities, dependent on what will be useful for the client and their particular struggle at that time. I am most fluent in CBT, DBT, Behavior Modification, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Trauma Focused CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Based Therapies and Motivational Interviewing. I meet clients where they are at, and select the treatment model that best fits their current struggle. I also incorporate psychoeducation, homework, journaling, and functional skills trainings into my work with clients.
