Dr. Darleen Claire Wodzenski, PhD
I love working with clients who are willing and eager to engage in learning and exploration of the self to promote growth, healing, recovery, and quality of life. Serving clients of all ages, we offer a broad platform of support to make it possible to access services in a way that is safe, gentle, and compassionate.
This creates a warm and nurturing environment in which clients can feel free to explore their deepest concerns and find their own personal pathway to health and wellbeing.
Younger children may enjoy incorporating games and puppets into care while older youth may benefit from creative activities, exploration of media, or collaborative projects. Clients of all ages may benefit from support through bibliotherapy, hypnosis, or NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming).
First session
During the first session, clients will have the opportunity to share their concerns and express what they would like to achieve in therapy. We will review your health history and as time permits, engage in some assessments to support effective diagnosis and treatment planning.
Strengths
I love my work, and bring both compassion and passion for serving others to the therapeutic process. As such, clients tend to feel heard, honored, respected, safe, and most of all cared for. This creates a warm and nurturing environment in which clients can feel free to explore their deepest concerns and find their own personal pathway to health and wellbeing.
Ideal clients
We are positioned to offer a broad platform of support, blending various treatment approaches and modalities to create a treatment paradigm that matches your individual needs. For infants and very young children, services may focus on support to parents; children may benefit from some individual and some family-focused services; while adults may choose to do stand-alone therapy or blend it with relationship or family supportive care.
Treatment methods
Positive Psychology
Positive Psychology provides a wealth of insight and strategies to promote mental health, wellbeing, and human development across the lifespan. We utilize evidence-based strategies including DBT, CBT, EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Compassion-Based, Trauma-Informed, Person-Centered and developmentally oriented care.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy provides a deeper pathway to touching our subconscious and make positive changes gently and efficiently.
EMDR
EMDR is one of many trauma-focused treatment modalities we employ to support individuals to gently heal and overcome traumatic and destabilizing experiences in the recent or distant past.
