Working with CBT allows the focus to be what is going on in your life right now, rather than what led to to the challenge. While some degree of past experience can be helpful, the focus is on moving forward, developing healthy coping mechanisms along the way.
Solution-focused therapy puts solving the problem at the forefront of the conversation. This method can be especially helpful if you have a particular problem and need help solving it.
The strength-based approach focuses on the the strengths a person already has, rather than what might be lacking. This method utilizes one's current knowledge and capabilities to foster growth and change.

I have been working with Rashell for over 3 years now. With her help, I have changed in so many ways which are significantly more healthy for me and my life. I wouldn't be here without her. So many behaviors stand out regarding Rashell. She is intelligent and speaks to me likewise, our sense of humor matches, she gives me direct feedback and challenges me appropriately, she is solution oriented, and empowers me to try new things. Rashell saved my life.

I’ve seen a few different therapists over the last year to address the grief and trauma over losing my brother and I haven’t clicked with anyone until I found Rachell. She doesn’t just listen, she gives insight I couldn’t see on my own and advice that I can actually use to make a difference in my life. I’m so thankful to have been matched with her!
