f . Hello, I'm Brenda Ned, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate life challenges. My experience spans working with clients dealing with stress, anger management, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, trauma, 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, and 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. 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 thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By changing your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, you can improve your mental health. By changing your thought patterns, you can gain a clearer perception of your situation and identify what you can control. I genuinely care about my clients and am dedicated to helping them achieve a better 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.
During this initial session, I explain the concepts of confidentiality, the structure of our sessions, and practical details related to billing and scheduling. We also review paperwork, including intake forms that cover personal medical and family history, as well as current concerns and symptoms. Additionally, I inquire about what brought the client to therapy, discuss their goals, and explore any previous therapy experiences they may have had.
My approach is person-centered, focusing on the needs of the client. I practice active listening to ensure that the client feels heard and understood. This involves rephrasing their statements and asking relevant questions while accepting the client without judgment. I also aim to avoid interrupting and refrain from giving unsolicited advice.d 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
