Ted Vander Clute
Are you down on yourself, beating yourself up with thoughts like "I'm not good enough, I'm a failure, I should work harder than I do or I'll never get what I want out of life?" Do you focus on your flaws rather than your strengths and maybe have even forgotten what your strengths are? I can help you identify, challenge and change those distorted, negative, self defeating ideas to give you a more realistic, compassionate and affirming sense of yourself. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I can help you focus on your strengths, many of which you may not have even been aware of, build your self esteem and begin to love yourself again.
I am very adept at recognizing and drawing out your strengths, many of which you may not have even been aware of or previously seen as strengths.
Having been a psychotherapist for 27 years, I start where you are, help you figure out what you want in your life and give the you the tools to get there so that you can have the joy and excitement you deserve. I look forward to assisting you on your journey.
First session
You can expect that I will listen compassionately and non judgmentally and really understand the struggles you are addressing. I will help you identify the blocks that have been holding you back and find the emotional freedom you have been yearning for. Many of my patients have been able to break through self defeating self concepts and behaviors that have held them back for decades. We will work together to give you a better sense of self and a clear course of action to get where you want to go.
Strengths
I am very adept at recognizing and drawing out your strengths, many of which you may not have even been aware of or previously seen as strengths. This includes reframing events or aspects of yourself you may have been perceiving as weakness or deficits. You will feel that I am your ally and on your side through whatever it is that you may going through and that you can count on my support.
Ideal clients
Adults with depression, anxiety, relationship or work issues. I also enjoy working with ADHD, bipolar disorder, couple and family problems, as well as young adult issues.
