I came to growtherapy almost two years ago to help with my anxiety and depression. Jermain makes me feel comfortable, listens attentively and provides useful tools to help me develop healthy coping strategies. He is compassionate, professional, authentic and inspiring. He creates a warm and open-minded atmosphere where I feel truly understood. I highly recommend Jermain for anyone who is struggling to be heard.

Jermain is a great therapist who is always very intentional about making sure I leave a session with specific "take-aways", key points, and action items as needed. He is very encouraging and honest which is extremely helpful as I work through my concerns and challenges with his support.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on helping individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. In therapy practice, CBT is employed to address a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, phobias, and stress. Therapists work collaboratively with clients to pinpoint distorted or negative thought processes, known as cognitive distortions, and assist them in developing healthier and more rational ways of thinking. Additionally, CBT often involves the implementation of specific coping strategies and behavioral interventions to modify problematic actions and reactions. By fostering self-awareness and providing practical tools, CBT equips individuals with the skills they need to manage their emotions and improve their overall well-being.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy

Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) can be effectively adapted for virtual therapy settings, making it accessible and efficient for individuals seeking treatment for conditions like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In virtual therapy, therapists guide clients through a structured process involving repeated exposure to distressing memories or situations related to their trauma, all while ensuring the client's safety and comfort in their own environment. Therapists use video conferencing platforms to facilitate discussions and assignments aimed at reducing avoidance behaviors and desensitizing the emotional reactions associated with traumatic memories. Homework assignments, like listening to audio recordings of their trauma narratives, can also be integrated into virtual therapy. While virtual PE may lack in-person exposure experiences, it can still help clients confront and process their trauma effectively, often leading to symptom reduction and improved quality of life. Therapists must maintain a strong therapeutic alliance and provide appropriate support throughout the virtual PE process to ensure its success.
