Serena Randol

LCSW5 years of experience

Hello! I love to help people find their best and most true self! I practice a person-centered and completely non-judgmental approach. Because I have successfully overcome many hardships and challenges, I am equipped to guide you through yours. I am trauma informed and practice a blend of cognitive behavioral approaches, spiced up with some acceptance and commitment theory as well as DBT for emotional and mood stability. I can help you to understand and defeat paralyzing anxiety or depression. I love collaborative teamwork!

First session

On your first appointment, I will spend time getting to know you, share more about my approach and start to decide with you what your treatment goals are. I will ask a lot of questions about your past and present, but you only have to answer what you are comfortable answering. I may ask you to complete some short assessments that will help us both to see exactly what you are working through. I will share with you the different ways that I offer help and offer you important first steps to getting stronger.

Strengths

I am seasoned with many life experiences, having raised six children and am now a happy grandmother. I value my good health and practice a holistic approach that focuses on neuroplasticity and nutrition. I am certified to offer brain spotting as a trauma intervention. I can quietly hold space with you, allowing you to experience healing at your pace, or I may occasionally offer a challenge to your thinking. I am also very comfortable with a faith-based approach based on God's love. I will always treat you with the utmost respect as I know that my work with you is just a light to help you see the path that you want to take.

Ideal clients

Are you struggling with the crazy world that we now live in? Are you trying to reset your life after an unexpected change or loss? Are you trying to find a path forward to a new season? Is your past trying to imprison you? Are you willing to consider new approaches or new ideas? Are you curious about the newest brain science? Then let's talk! As long as you are open and patient, together we can figure it out.

Treatment methods

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

I help you to determine your personal values and understand the places in your life where you may be stuck in a way that can prolong unnecessary personal suffering. I will compassionately offer ways for you to become more mentally flexible leading to greater overall success.

Brainspotting

I can provide education about this unique trauma intervention and am Phase 1 certified to help you find the areas of unresolved trauma that may be holding you back. You will not be asked to relive or talk about your trauma if you don't want to do that, which is one of the beautiful things about this intervention.

Christian Counseling

I will help you to understand the great love and mercy that God has for all of us and to know that religion is not the same as relationship.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I will help you to identify your core beliefs about yourself, others and the world around you. Together we will examine how helpful or unhelpful these may be for you. I will also help you to understand personal boundaries and self-care.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I can provide instruction for interpersonal skills building as well as mindfulness techniques that will help you to become more self-aware. I will provide understanding of dialectical thinking that is so necessary in today's world.
