Hello, my name is Carol Metcalf-Roth, LMFT, and I have been working with clients for 21 years as a Licensed Marriage Therapist. My career history includes progressive experience as a Therapist, Director of Social Services, and Clinical Supervisor, working in agency services, hospitals and private practice. I am also a licensed Military Family Life Counselor.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I explain how therapy works, make sure my client understands confidentiality of our conversations. I tell the client a bit about myself, my practice and how I approach our therapy. I ask the client to explain the reasons for seeking help. n
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize the following tools : . Identifying specific issues in your daily life. . help the client become aware of unproductive thought patterns and recognize how they can impact their life. . Identifying negative thinking and replacing it with positive thought patterns. . Introduce new learning behaviors and how to put them into practice.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My experience with families covers a wide spectrum of family systems. I have worked with at-risk youth and family systems and helped them achieve their goals for self-sufficiency through a diverse group of programs and community partnerships. My experience with single clients has been successful with clients who were depressed and anxious for years before they worked with me on a plan to recognize what thoughts were creating this pattern.
