New to Grow
Hi. I am a licensed mental health counselor who is very empathic, being non-judgment, genuine, using such therapeutic style and approach, to helping you make the growth deemed essential, that you can make positive changes in your life, that you can emerge a life full of happiness, laughter, beauty, and positive, new meaning. In addition to the clinical, therapeutic techniques that I use in my therapeutic relationship with my clients, I also like to incorporate mindfulness meditation practice, helping you to being more present, living in the moment, focusing on positive thoughts, the here and now moment, letting go of any negative, intrusive thoughts, but appreciating your present moment, to alleviating the anxiety, the depression, and other problems affecting your mental health and well-being.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I will show you good, active, reflective listening skills, validating your thoughts and feelings related to your life, past experiences, your life story, to helping you to work effectively in the therapeutic work that you will undertake in therapy.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am very empathic, nonjudgmental, and also insightful, using my clinical perspective about your situation, to helping you gain insight, you gaining a new lens through which you make meaning of your situation for your own well-being and life satisfaction.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am clinically adept to serve all clients who are experiencing some distress in their life, affecting your mental health, any problem that seemingly is symptomatic as the negative behaviors exhibited, helping you to gain some better, adaptive functioning, where you can form a worldview that will interdict problem sequencing and help you function better, effectively, and highly, in your living environment, thus having a healing effect for you from any depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and including any personality-like symptoms.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am very inclined toward using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), because I believe that the notion of reframing one's thoughts, making better, positive connotations, ascribing noble intentions to a person's actions, seeing the good, about a situation, and / or about a person, and changing the conceptual and / or emotional meaning that a person draws about a situation will help to dissuade the symptoms that are problematic to one's functioning, thus alleviating the anxiety, the depression, the OCD-like symptoms, the substance abuse problems, and even the personality-like traits that are symptomatic.
