Lidia E Conners
Hello! My name is Lidia Conners, a Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience. I have successfully treated a diverse population of adults and older adolescents with mental health inquiries specifically with anxiety, depression or trauma. I came to this field as I believe in the potential we all have and understand that at times certain perceptions or an overactive /underactive nervous system many times keep us stuck and rob us from living our best lives. I strongly believe in contributing to the well-being of clients using a client-centered, caring/compassionate individualized approach.
First session
In our first session we will learn if we are a best fit for you and what brought you to therapy. We will conduct a biopsychosocial assessment that will provide clinical information to identify your specific mental health concerns and condition. We will also identify your goals for treatment and start building a therapeutic alliance that leads to a healthy and peaceful life.
Strengths
I am bilingual which allows me to connect with clients that speak English or Spanish. I have a soft and direct approach that allows your healing on a timeline that suits your therapeutic needs. I am skilled in multiple therapeutic techniques, and I actively work to keep current with developments in the mental health field.
Ideal clients
I believe I did not come to this profession to serve my needs. I seek to contribute and help people with a distorted sense of self, life circumstances and/or the world; so together we explore and identify ways available to increase well-being, develop effective coping and emotional regulation skills. Help them recognize their strengths that will help him/her navigate and responds to his/her difficulties in a more effective way. I best serve individuals in general, struggling with life circumstances, life transitions, problems with relationships and self -identity whose symptoms show as anxiety, depression, and a lot of the times caused by developmental or acute trauma that has not been processed.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is used to identify irrational ways of thinking, negative thought patterns that guide a person's behavior. We learn to identify these, challenge them and restructure the way we think as these thoughts encourage emotions and guide behaviors.
