Hi, my name is Dr. Sinead Cowins. As a therapist, my goal is to help you achieve your best self. It is my purpose to guide you through investigating your wants and needs, the thoughts that trouble you, and the life experiences that have impacted you. With a compassionate, gentle, and sincere style, I individualize treatment to the needs of my clients. Utilizing a strength-based approach, I can aid with a wide range of difficulties, including but not limited to depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief and loss, unresolved emotional issues, the mind-body connection, self-esteem/self-empowerment, and creating meaning and purpose in life. Ensuring that I provide a safe space for exploration is something that I place in high esteem, and I believe it is essential for a healthy therapeutic relationship.
During our first session, clients can expect a session that is geared toward getting to know each other, building rapport, and beginning to learn the background information that is essential for treatment.
My greatest strength lies in my ability to listen and be empathetic. I am also passionate about helping others and working toward healing.
I have experience working with a diverse population of people. I am best positioned to serve people who are amenable to CBT and ACT. I am less able to serve person's in need of a DBT program, EMDR, and pure psychodynamic therapy.
As a CBT therapist, my goal is to help you understand the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Everything that we do is informed by our thought process, self-concept, and emotional awareness. With CBT, I hope to aid you in becoming a fully aware person, who is capable of true autonomy and choice.
Aside from being a fully trained CBT therapist, I also utilize aspects of ACT therapy to help the people that I work with engage in flexible thinking and self-care. ACT can create the space to help persons understand their goals and put them into perspective because it helps in developing the confidence to live within one's genuine values.
