Alberta Madsen
Hi, I am a LCSW with over 40 years of experience. I have worked with all age groups through the years and various human conditions. I love to hear peoples stories and help with anxiety and depression. I primarily focus on how automatic thoughts effect behavior and create our perspective on life.
This technique helps people become aware of their thoughts and actions and focus on what they can control.
I also employ mindfulness techniques and motivational counseling .
First session
On our first meeting we will go through brief introductions and begin to explore your history and go over the goals you have for your treatment.
Strengths
Having been a social worker for several decades makes me keenly aware of various human problems. I was first trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 30 years ago. This technique helps people become aware of their thoughts and actions and focus on what they can control. I have also been trained in trauma and many other mental health conditions.
Ideal clients
At this time I work primarily with adults who are feeling stuck in their situations and are feeling anxious and/or depressed. We will explore the experiences that have led to your present situation and start to employ new techniques to reach your goals.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I first studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy 30 years ago. It is one of the most studied approaches with proven outcomes. I have found that getting down to the core thoughts that create our reactions and behaviors, is key to making wonderful changes.
