What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I will enable you to move forward by asking you different questions that may challenge the way you think. Hoping to guide you to a different place. I will check in with you and how you are feeling. Are you happier? Making or seeing changes or differences within yourself? I will ask have you reached your goals? My goal is to help you learn more about yourself to help you feel better and help you reach the goal you determined to reach when we started. Each session is guided to help you achieve your goal.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
CBT - Cognitive behavioral therapy - it was designed to go deep into a client's thought process in order to better understand how their thoughts affect their behavior. The purpose of this form of therapy is to change the thought process therefore changing the negative behavior. Often this approach may incorporate techniques such as role playing and journaling in order to help the client get some insight into their thoughts. ACT: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy - Accept what is out of our personal control, commit to actions that improves your life. ACT achieves this by supporting clients to develop skills to deal with painful thoughts and feelings, in such a way that they will have much less impact and influence. These are known as mindfulness skills.
