Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavior therapy is a practical and easy to use mode of therapy. We begin by discussing values as to what a client wants in life and barriers to achieving these. Oftentimes people have unhelpful thoughts and erroneous beliefs which result in unwanted behaviors. CBT offers ways to reframe the thoughts and beliefs which create new and more positive behaviors.
Trauma Informed Care
Oftentimes I find that clients have experienced types of trauma in their life which can include abuses/neglect in childhood this carries on to a persons life with regards to trust and attachment. I use trauma informed care to assist clients with learning how to change thoughts, increase self regulation and live a less restrictive life
Motivational Interviewing
As a certified substance use therapist I work with client using motivation interviewing, CBT, trauma focused therapy, and mindfulness to help clients maintain sobriety.
