I have been practicing in the field for over 10 years. I have co-facilitated men’s group, spoken at conferences, adolescent consults and individual therapy. I use a lot of Cognitive behavioral therapy which means will process triggers, emotions, hobbies, good times , coping skills and any event that you deem important. Therapy is all about you and helping you meet short/long term goals. You got this.
First session is centered around developing a treatment plan ( concerns that bought you to therapy and desired outcome),. We will discuss topics such as history with therapy services, supports, coping skills, school/work. You will also ask me questions for clarification on any topic you have. regarding therapy
We process and discuss the events that have bought you to therapy. I provide handouts for coping skills to try that will increase strategize to use when emotions increase symptoms. I can also connect to a higher level of care if needed.
I work well with clients who are in the age range of 13yrs- 60 years . Clients who are experiencing anxiety and depression. Ideally, the client will realize a change needs to occur in their life to get better but if not we can work together to get to this point. I also work well with individuals who are experiencing life transitions such as going to college, changing jobs, moving and a loss of a relationship.
Cognitive Behavioral therapy is working on controlling your thoughts to prevent a negative behavioral. It's identifying that an event happen that i didnt like but let me do this action to lessen the likelihood of this event getting worst.
