Jared Arthur
I've worked in the mental health field for nearly a decade now, and have a wide array of clients and experiences to draw from. Everything from Anxiety and Depression, to Bipolar Disorder, to ADHD, to Autism, to Couples counseling, and so much more. I've got specialized training in anxiety counseling and Trauma, as well as extensive experience in working with LGBTQA+ individuals. I'm very person centered in my approach to clients. Just because I have a bunch of schooling, doesn't mean that I'm automatically and expert in your life. We go where you want, work on what you want, and figure out life together.
First session
I work with my clients to set goals that they want to accomplish. Example goals may include reducing anxiety, improving emotional intelligence, or eliminating the fear of driving. I try my hardest to create a warm, relaxing, chill environment to engage in with my clients.
Strengths
I'm a turbo nerd. I play video games, TTRPG's like Dungeons and Dragons, and have seen a bunch of anime. Being a person is just as important as being a professional. I'm a fun easy going person, and while I'm confident in my skills as a clinician to be able to help, I'm also confident we can find something to meet and build a relationship with.
Ideal clients
In general I just want clients who are invested the work they are setting out to do. I welcome individuals from all walks of life, backgrounds and interests. The biggest fact to being a "good client" is the time and effort you put in on the backend when we aren't speaking.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to aid clients in identifying negative/unhelpful thoughts that are causing them to engage in negative feedback loops. The we work to correct and redirect the negative loop towards something more helpful.
Trauma-Informed Care
I have a certification in trauma therapy identifying that I completed a 24 hour course on methods of treating trauma and its related symptoms.
