Ann Conrad
Hi, I am a Licensed Marriage Therapist who enjoys working with young people, couples, families and individuals. My goal is to get my client to where they want to be at the end of our sessions. I do assign homework interventions but want clients to understand if they don't want to try the intervention then tell me. I have a lot of things and one I am sure will spart interest.
First session
Our first session is a time when an assessment is completed along with a treatment plan both of which direct treatment. I always expect a lot of dialog input and questions from clients. I don't have all the answers but will do my best to get you an answer either by email or at our next session.
Strengths
Understanding with no judgement. I have been doing this for a long time and it's not about me it's about my clients. I know that life happens, and you may not be able to make a session at the last minute. Just let me know and we can continue at our next session.
Ideal clients
Working with teens, young adults, adults and older adults is my passion. Each stage of life brings with it it's own challenges. It is always great to see growth and understanding as the client or clients discover that they have changed.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT because it has a wide range of options giving you the client more ability to have input on suggestions for treatment
Couples Counseling
Working with couples is extremely rewarding. I have made it a practice to not see just one of the couples without the other.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
This has some amazing interventions working on brief treatment and allowing clients to reach their goals at a faster rate.
