I am a veteran which gives me a unique abiity to treat members of the military community.
I believe people are growth oriented and as such have the ability to learn to improve their life with the guidance of a skilled professional counselor. I give every client my 100% focus as I look at them holistically, assess their strengths, set goals, and collaborativey work towards achieving their goals in a timely manner.
First session
Our first session will include: (1) a brief overview of my training and experience, (2) a review to ensure we have all the required forms completed, (3) an overview of the importance of being organized, on time, completing counseling assignments, and the value of working hard towards one's goals, and (4) the bulk of the time is set aside for the client to tell me as much as they are comfortable with.
Strengths
I approach all clients the same way, focusing on client strengths, colaborating with clients, expressing empathy, and a commitment to working hard to create positive change with the client. i think being organized improves efficiency so each session will begin with agenda setting and each session will end with a summary.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve adult clients who are facing life issues ranging from anxiety to grief to life transitions. My identities as a military veteran and PhD level counselor allow me to provide specific care to members of the military community. Additionally, I have worked in a variety of settings so I understand the mental health care system. I have worked with a variety of clients concerning a variety of counseling concerns.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have 25 years of experience using CBT. I trained at the Philadelphia College of Ostepathic Medicine. I use CBT to help clients identify and explore the impact of their thoughts and beliefs on their mental health.
Humanistic
Humanistic is more of an approach to the counseling process than a method. I employ the humanstic approach to initiate, build, and maintain the critical counselor/client working relationship.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
SFBT is a strength oriented approach that lends itself with the humanistic approach. Clients live in a fast-paced world so they do not have months and years to spend in therapy. Employing SFBT allows me and the client to build a therapuetic alliance and get to work on improving their life.
Existential
Existential therapy is really a philosophical approach, not a formalized therapeutic approach. Existentialism helps clients address fundamental life issues like freedom, choice, responsibility, and isolation with the goal of helping them live a more authentic life.
