Mind-body approach
Seasoned LCSW/PhD practicing clinician utilizing a holistic approach to treatment, integrating the emotional, physical, and spiritual components of the individual. Treatment incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and compassionate, person‑centered care to support clients in achieving meaningful and sustainable change.
Trauma-Focused CBT
It's not unusual to have clients wanting to understand their unhealthy patterns of behaviors and their origins. In some cases, these behaviors may impact their relationships, ability to communicate feelings/emotions. Many learn the difference between the survival mechanisms employed in childhood and gain insight into replacing unhealthy coping skills with healthy coping skills.
