Hello and welcome to my profile! My name is Regina Koller and I am a dual credentialed Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor with a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University. I am also a Certified Skills System Coach with specialized knowledge in applying therapeutic techniques to meet the needs of the neurodiverse population. I have 25 years of experience in social service and behavioral health care settings, with 15 of these years in direct clinical practice providing therapeutic services to a diverse population of individuals and groups across the lifespan. I specialize in co-occurring conditions and I am skilled in treating mood disruptions, anxiety, trauma and grief. I also have experience in supporting clients through life transitions, relational conflict, and identity development, among other concerns and/or stressors.
I strongly believe the therapeutic relationship is key in fostering personal growth and healing. I strive to create a safe space for all clients to feel accepted, respected, and included in their treatment. I come from a place of non-judgement and curiosity as I team up with my client to clarify goals and expectations for therapy. I view the therapy space like a blank canvas, as my client and I begin to create, learn, grow, and work towards a life worth living.
I find joy and meaning in my work with both teens and adults and I am known for building trust and rapport quickly upon introduction. I feel humbled and honored to be a part of a person's journey and greatly value my client's experience in therapy and often request feedback from my clients to ensure they are receiving the best care possible.
I have extensive experience working with both adolescents and adults. I have specialized training and certification working with individuals with co-occurring disorders and developmental disabilities.
