New to Grow
Hello my name is Charlene, I would love to assist and guide you on the journey to which you currently find yourself. I am available for telehealth every Friday. It is a very convenient way to do therapy for those with busy lives, or who either work from home, or prefer the privacy of their own home. I also see clients face to face every other Saturday in my Vacaville office. I also do EMDR therapy using tapping or hand held tappers. Please give me a call so we can begin to explore the path ahead.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
We will discuss the issue that brought you to therapy, your goals and explore your thoughts about achieving those goals. Also, we will review your therapy history, discuss what have you tried before that did, or did not work.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I enjoy helping others resolve issues that keep them stuck, or they find themselves not quite satisfied with their life. We work together to find what works, explore what your definition of happiness is, find out what your core values in life are and how the values can play out in your life
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy helping clients work through trauma using emdr or talk therapy, you get to choose. It might be a combination of both. When trauma happens the memory is shattered. EMDR has a way of putting the pieces back together. EMDR helps the brain heal as you go through the process. I have worked with clients who have a difficult time with anger management, emotional dysregulation, trauma, and substance abuse.
