Bonnie Grossman
Hi, I'm Bonnie! I'm a Licensed professional counselor in Ohio, Arizona and New Jerey. I received a master's degree in Professional counseling ,and spent over ten years working with dual diagnosis clients.
I believe strongly in empowering individuals by simultaneously being direct and empathetic.
I specialize in working with adults dealing with trauma, substance use disorders, relationship issues, personality disorders, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. My approach is flexible and tailored to your unique needs, blending CBT, DBT, and a compassionate, person-centered approach.
First session
During the first session we'll explore what led you to treatment, what you hope to gain from this experience, and your goals. We'll discuss barriers to meeting your goals in the past and collaborate on how to accomplish them now.
Strengths
Having worked with adults for the past ten years on a variety of issues, I'm capable of being flexible in my approach and providing you with what you need to be successful. I believe strongly in empowering individuals by simultaneously being direct and empathetic.
Ideal clients
I love working with adults who have big feelings they are having hard time managing, feel controlled by a substance, and feel bogged down by their past. Individuals who wonder why they reacted to a situation the way they did or find themselves feeling an intense emotion and being unsure if it fits the current situation.
Treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I've been trained in DBT and use it to help clients with becoming more mindful, regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and becoming more effective in interpersonal relationships.
Psychodynamic
I use psychodynamic therapy to help clients gain insight into how past experiences, unconscious patterns, and relationships influence their current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By increasing self-awareness, clients can better understand longstanding patterns and create meaningful, lasting change.
Attachment-based
I use an attachment-based approach to help clients understand how early relationships shape current patterns in emotions, relationships, and self-worth. Together, we identify these patterns, strengthen emotional security, and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.
EMDR
I am trained in EMDR therapy and use it to help adults process trauma, reduce distress, and build healthier coping patterns. My approach emphasizes safety, preparation, and pacing, ensuring clients have the skills and resources needed before trauma processing begins. I tailor EMDR to each client's unique needs and integrate it with other evidence-based approaches to support lasting healing.
