Hi, I'm Deb Baxter, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I want to make you feel comfortable in a trusting therapeutic relationship. I want to provide a place where you feel valued, respected, and encouraged to reach your goals. We will work together to explore your emotions and look at ways to regulate them. We will develop coping skills for times that you feel "stuck".
In our first session, we will start with introductions and then discuss what brings you to counseling. We will spend time, at your pace, hearing a brief overview of your past and present experiences. This will allow me to tailor your treatment to your specific needs.
Having worked in this field for quite a few years, I am able to make clients feel comfortable and build a trusting therapeutic relationship quickly.
I work with clients to manage their thoughts and feelings by recognizing and challenging negative thoughts and reframing and refocusing them in a positive path.
