LPC, 8 years of experience
Hi, I am Errol Victory, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with the State of New Jersey with over eight years of clinical experience. To seek professional counseling takes tremendous courage and fortitude. You have made the right decision to seek professional help. You are the repository of your narrative, and no one can tell your pain like you can, this platform and forum allows you to share your experience with enormous confidentiality. I am available to assist you in overcoming your challenging thoughts, and emotional, and behavioral struggles.
In introductory sessions, clients can expect an introduction to my educational training, certifications, and work history along with my clinical experience Second, clients can expect an interactive (BPS) Biopsychosocial assessment with the intent to learn of precipitating factors to their challenges.
Over the years I've assisted clients to develop and identified roadblocks to their mental health and wellbeing. Secondly, I've assisted clients to develop a treatment plan, along with a measurable objective to ascertain change and progress consistent with recovery.
I enjoy working with clients who have a professional career, and higher education, with mild to moderate levels of functionality impairments. I have discovered that for the most part clients have some awareness of these mental health struggles but lack the necessary coping skills and strategies to reduce, regulate, and modify their struggles. As a therapist, I am here to assist you in obtaining your specific coping strategies.
When clients are struggling with depressive moods, they tend to make life decisions from emotional abilities rather than from the higher-level cognitive prefrontal cortex of the brain. If left unchecked, the person tends to develop a set pattern of negative ruminations or thought processes, such as: "overgeneralization, Selective abstractions, Self-References, and a Dichotomous thinking pattern". My goal in therapy would be to implement coping skills and strategies to enhance "rational cognitive problem-solving skills by posing challenging open-ended questioning while being emphatic to the client's emotional pain.
