I enjoy exploring who you are and getting to the root of your struggles. This exploration can surface thoughts and beliefs that may be conscious or subconscious and you will have learned so much about yourself and others. The end result will be an enlightened awareness of self and life and how you can navigate through a perilous world.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
After the first session, clients will understand the focus of the treatment and the steps necessary to achieve therapy goals and objectives. Time frames will be part of the treatment plan. Further sessions will be devoted to the exploration on increasing awareness of self and the identified problem. Trust and collaboration between therapist and client will significantly increase the chances of achieving success with the identified problem. Throughout this exploration goals will have been reviewed and achieved resulting in a reduction of symptoms and improved quality of life.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
You will become involved as an active partner in your treatment. Utilizing REBT (rational emotive behavioral therapy), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), and behavioral modification therapy we will embark on this journey for symptom reduction and better quality of life. Mindfulness based discussions will provide additional strategies to enhance symptom reduction. Homework will be assigned as appropriate.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
You will feel confident from the experience and training that I bring to the therapy sessions which will result in positive outcomes. My niche is working with depressive and anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, substance abuse disorders, trauma related disorders, and obsessive compulsive disorders. This is all done within the framework of the REBT orientation.
