Ivey Plancher is a compassionate and dedicated mental health therapist with six years of experience practicing. i have worked inpatient and outpatient settings, encouraging patients to prioritize their mental health while living a purposeful life. Ivey specializes in individual therapy for adults and adolescents. With a focus on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment, Ivey helps clients navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, life transitions, and relational issues.
In the initial session, the primary focus will be on establishing rapport and understanding the client’s reasons for seeking therapy. Additionally, clients can expect to collaborate in the development of treatment goals and objectives for the therapeutic process.
My greatest strength as a provider lies in my ability to create a comfortable and supportive environment for clients, meeting them where they are in their journey. Additionally, I am adept at utilizing a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor the approach to each client’s unique needs and goals.
I enjoy working with young adults, adolescents and professionals who are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality.
I thoughtfully integrate Christianity into therapy, to help clients find greater meaning, purpose, and healing while respecting their individual spiritual perspectives.
I utilize and integrate CBT strategies into sessions to help clients gain a deeper understanding of how their thoughts influence their feelings and behaviors, and empower them to make lasting changes that improve their mental health.
I utilize psychoeducation into my sessions to help clients feel more informed, empowered, and equipped to navigate their mental health journey. It fosters understanding, reduces fear or confusion, and builds confidence in their ability to manage challenges.
I assist and encourage clients to move through the grief process by understanding, supporting, and providing practical tools, fostering healing and resilience as they navigate their journey of loss.
By integrating Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in sessions, I encourage clients to build upon their strengths, create practical solutions, and focus on achieving positive outcomes in a time-efficient manner. This approach helps clients feel empowered and hopeful, leading to faster resolution and increased self-confidence.
