Hi! I am a licensed professional counselor with over a decade of experience, specializing in helping individuals, couples, families, adolescents, and children. I received my master's degree from Texas Woman's University in Denton Texas. My expertise spans various challenges, including trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, anger management, mood disorders, anxiety, workplace issues, and grief. Additionally, I have a unique focus on assisting both adults and children dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, anger, ADHD, ADD, OCD, panic disorder, and trauma.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Havig worked with individuals and families for the past 14 years. My approach is centered on tailoring therapeutic techniques to meet the unique needs of my clients. As their counselor, I strive to understand their perspectives and provide the tools necessary to view their world in a more positive light. Together, we embark on a journey of transformation and well-being.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love to work with adult individuals, couples, and teenagers.
