LICSW, 6 years of experience
I am a 45 year old black male certified as an LICSW in Massachusetts. I grew up in Fall River, MA, served in the Air Force, and earned a Master's Degree from Boston University. I have experience working with people of all age ranges, with focuses on anxiety, depression, conflict resolution, existentialism, and trauma. I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral as therapeutic approaches, along with supportive counseling and family approaches.
I make efforts to understand where you're coming from, while also creating our intake assessment which we can use to build our treatment plan. We want to build a path together that will be most helpful to you.
Empathizing where the person is coming from. Exploring ways to find strengths to build on. Increasing opportunities to express themselves and communicate feelings.
If you are experiencing emotional problems, and are looking for someone to assist with them, then I believe I can be very helpful to you.
I have had experience with CBT since working with younger disabled clients at residential facilities, and later in assisting clients in behavior modification. I have experienced success with clients through methods such as cognitive framing, coping, journaling, and token economies.
I have experienced clients gaining success through DBT by focusing on emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance and overall wellness approaches.
