Hello, I'm Brenda Ned, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individual navigate life challenges. My experience spans working with clients dealing with stress, anger management, depression, bi-polar, schizophrenia, PTSD, trauma and ADHD and social anxiety. i believe that with the right support and willingness to work towards goals, anyone can change their circumstances and improve their quality of life. My approach to therapy is rooted in several methodologies, including Rogerian, person-centered, existential CBT. The person-centered approach is fundamental in my practice, as it allows me to focus on your unique needs and facilitate meaningful progress through empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence. I practice active listening, ensuring you feel heard and understood by rephrasing your statements and asking pertinent questions. In our sessions, I strive to be a role model through congruence, demonstrating authenticity and consistency. i My commitment to unconditional positive regard means i accept you without interrupting and avoid giving unsolicited advice. i also incorporate existential - humanistic therapy, which is hopeful, constructive and centered on the present moment, helping you build a positive and forward-looking mindset. Cognitive- behavioral therapy is another cornerstone of my practice. CBT helps you understand the connection between your thought's feelings and behaviors. By changing your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. By changing your though patterns, you can change gain a cleaner perception of your situation and identify what you can control. I genuinely care about my clients am dedicated to helping them achieve their quality of life. We will establish your goals and work toward them in a supportive and collaborative environment. if, you 're ready to take the next step towards a better future, i'm here to support you on your journey. let's work together to create the change you seek.
On the first session it is primarily an introductory meeting to build rapport, set goals, rather than diving too deep in anything too emotional I often do a brief intake and that would serve as a foundation for a therapeutic relationship where I explain confidentially, session, and practical details concerning billing or scheduling along with paperwork and intake forms about personal medical, and family history as well as current concerns and symptoms and then I would ask what brought them to therapy, discuss goals and previous therapy experiences
My approach is the person- centered in which I focus on the needs of the client and which I would practice active listening, ensuring the client is being heard and understood by rephasing statements and asking pertinent questions, accepting the client without judgment without interrupting and avoid giving unsolicited advice.
My ideal client is one in which the client begins with a willing heart and genuinely wants to learn more about themselves. they do not need to have all the answers but brings an openness to change and a readiness to explore difficult emotions and is committed to the collaborative process. growth happens when the client is vulnerable, actively engages in self-reflection and willing to do the work for healing to take place
