Edward Wagner
Greetings! I'm Ed, and I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and substance abuse. If you find that your enjoyment of life's simple pleasures is waning or if the demands of everyday life feel overwhelming, I'm here to help. My primary goal is to establish a solid working relationship with you, empowering you to make lasting positive changes. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where you can feel comfortable addressing your concerns openly.
I'm Ed, and I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and substance abuse.
In my practice, I draw upon evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, principles of Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness meditation. By incorporating these methods, I aim to guide you toward a more fulfilling and balanced life. Together, we'll explore your unique circumstances and work collaboratively to develop strategies that promote personal growth, emotional well-being, and improved relationships. I'm dedicated to assisting you on your journey towards positive change.
First session
During our initial session, we'll start by getting acquainted. After introductions, we'll delve into the reasons behind your therapy journey and start crafting a plan to achieve your goals.
Strengths
I pride myself on being an engaged and empathetic listener, particularly when supporting individuals grappling with addiction. Whether the addiction is related to substances or behaviors, I am dedicated to addressing it head-on and assisting in breaking its grip. Together, we can navigate the challenges, explore underlying factors, and work towards fostering positive change and healing.
Ideal clients
Therapy for couples (addressing relationship issues) as well as individuals managing depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and behavioral addictions.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundational approach to help individuals understand the intricate relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is an evidence-based, structured, and time-limited form of psychotherapy that empowers clients to identify and challenge maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors, fostering healthier and more adaptive ways of thinking and acting.
Motivational Interviewing
In my practice, I incorporate Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients explore and resolve their ambivalence about change. MI is a client-centered, directive method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by helping clients identify and articulate their own reasons for change in an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.
