Feeling down, sad or worst of all...not feeling anything at all? My name is Seth and I specialize in treating depression and trauma reactions. I get it, depression and trauma can leave us feeling defeated and without hope. But there is hope and time after time I have seen my clients find that hope and find new purpose in their lives.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session, you will find that the atmosphere will be relaxed and open. Usually the first session is different because it is an intake and I will be asking you a lot of different questions. You will however have plenty of time to share about what is going on that led you to therapy. At the end, we will set a goal for therapy and this will be a goal that is meaningful and important to you.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

In sessions I strive to listen and to understand what you are saying without jumping in and offering my opinion. I've found that by simply listening, people will often feel validated and they have a platform to make sense of their thoughts as they say them out loud. I don't hold people's words against them, especially because I know how difficult therapy is. And when I do offer an idea, I welcome you to let me know that I am off base! Valuable opinions about life are formed when there is healthy disagreement.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

In my sessions, I will often use a CBT framework as we navigate through your life stressors. This allows for my clients to be able to engage in a collaborative therapy process in which we will explore your thoughts and emotions based off CBT principles and not off my opinions as to what you should do with your life. I want to respect your ability to make meaningful choices in your life.
