My experience and expertise. I have treated a lot of clients with very severe mental illness. There isn't much I haven't seen before.
I work best with adult men. primarily mentally ill but not necessarily. I handle relationship but also work related issues. My therapy style is eclectic but I do lean a lot towards CBT and reality therapy. My mindset is always to get to the root of the problem but also ensure that the client learns about themselves in the process.
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have a great deal of experience with a variety of mental illness and relationship issues. I will listen and better understand your issue and together we will get to core of the issue.
