Wendy Newcomb Beattie
Okay, take a deep breath. No matter where you are in your search for a therapist, anxiety can make the task feel overwhelming. I understand. My goal is to help you experience a sense of peace and balance in all areas of your life. I will partner with you and help you find strategies to making meaningful changes you want in life. I enjoy coaching and empowering clients to live their best lives. Depending on your needs, I will draw on a wide range of techniques to help you achieve wellness. All change begins with a single step. Call today or conveniently book your first session online. My fees are $150.00 for individual sessions and $200.00 for couples or family sessions.
First session
During the first session, I will gather information by asking you questions about your clinical history of symptoms. It's an information gathering session that helps me become familiar with the problems you are facing and potential goals of treatment. Understanding the issues you face helps me to see clearly how to guide you to take steps toward personal growth. It's also a great time to begin building trust and begin building a working relationship.
Strengths
I am warm, authentic and compassionate. I am encouraging, with a focus on helping my clients achieve manageable goals. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Theory and other practical strategies to help you gain better control over thoughts that weigh you down. While personal responsibility is necessary, owning responsibility for all of the things that go wrong in life is not realistic or helpful. I encourage my clients to draw upon natural supports, humor, their faith and challenge maladaptive thoughts that lead to negative mood and behavior.. I help clients develop self care strategies and practical interventions needed to achieve their goals.
Ideal clients
My best clients are people who are seeking therapy because they need a safe outlet to work through life's challenges.. They are ready to make necessary life changes and benefit from empowerment. Stressors don't have to dominate your life and steal your peace. We can work together to reclaim your life and develop healthy coping skills. Call today and let's get started!
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Theory teaches clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns that lead to negative moods. You will begin to notice, challenge and replace the unhelpful thoughts with healthier, more realistic thoughts that maintain anxiety, depression and negative outlook in life.
Supportive
I partner with clients and help them navigate the course in making meaningful changes. I believe that it's important to have someone who stands by you and believes in your potential to create a healthy and happy life. I build rapport, offer unconditional positive regard, coach and collaborate with my clients to bring about lasting and healthy changes in life.
Faith-based therapy
If a client wishes to integrate their religious or spiritual beliefs, I will help them to identify aspects of their faith that can help them to cope and develop resilience in their struggles. I have experience working in a Christian Counseling Center and can provide interventions if desired.
