New to Grow
I am a licensed Professional Counselor, licensed both in Arkansas and Missouri. I work with individuals in a collaborative manner. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy to find what works best with each person. My responsibility is to encourage each person to self evaluate their values, beliefs and behaviors in an effort to help them find a path to a more enjoyable life. Each person is different and one size does not fit all. To ask for help takes a great of courage. It is the greatest gift we can give another, is to ask for and receive help. I look forward to working with each person not only for the gift, but for the opportunity to learn a different view of life
First session gives you the opportunity to express your concerns and for us to get to know each other. The session proceeds at your pace. A tentative treatment plan can be started. I may recommend a number of books/articles for reference between sessions
Patience, Compassion, Non-judgmental approach. I work with each person to help them develop their best life. To not only feel better, but do better.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have using CBT for many years. It is used to identify what is working and what is not. CBT puts the focus on what works for each client
