New to Grow
I am MaryJo McCreedy LCMHC, I have been working in the mental health field for 8 yrs , I am a retired LPN after 25 years of helping others, I find my experience as a nurse tends come in handy when clients have medical issues that affect their mental health. I like to help my clients find their authentic way of living that best suits them. I utilize CBT, DBT and MI during my session.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session together I will go over all the assessment's that where filled out and help you understand where you are and what needs to be worked on as we moved forward as long as it is something you want to work on. I will be warm and welcoming in our session to help you feel relaxed and comfortable.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize CBT to help clients turn their negative thoughts into positive thinking to see things different with a new perspective.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I will use DBT to help a client learn new skills to self regulate emotions they feel they have no control over.
Motivational Interviewing
MI is used to help clients go a little deeper in their thought process, I will use open ended questions to try to get a client there.
Adlerian
Some times our past is interfering with our current life or our old coping skills from the past no longer works for us, this is where i will draw from your past to see what we need to change to function better in the present.
