Olivia Coffman
I have been working in the field of mental health for the past two years. I have experience working with Veterans and First Responders as well as those struggling with substance use concerns. I utilize an eclectic approach to cater to each client's unique needs. I have experience working with a wide variety of client issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and various mood disorders. I continue to maintain focus on specialized training that allows me to continue to treat Veterans and First Responders.
First session
Our first session will include questions aimed at gaining background information and a better understanding of each client. I allow each client to tell their own story by utilizing active listening skills and I make a point to take mental notes about client's story in order to prevent them from feeling like they have to re-tell their story each session.
Strengths
I am very upfront about guidance provided and insight given. I often take a very honest approach with each client so that are aware of the direction of treatment.
Ideal clients
I work well with clients who have motivation to set and meet individualized goals. I firmly believe that each client is the expert of their experiences and allow them to steer the direction of their own treatment while providing insight and guidance along the way. I have experiencing working with individuals with PTSD, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, and mood related disorders.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilized CBT to identify problematic thoughts that cause problematic behaviors. Thoughts are identified and challenged using a variety of therapeutic techniques in a way that gives each client insight.
