Iris Mosah
Hi there! My name is Iris and I am a Masters-level clinician who is currently pursuing a doctorate degree in Counseling Psychology.
I take a holistic approach in treating mental health, meaning that I will challenge you to take inventory of your physical and spiritual health as well.
If you are looking for a therapist who who can be both a cheerleader and a challenger, look no further. I approach my work from a psychodynamic perspective, meaning I try to help clients explore the deeper roots that keep them stuck in unhelpful patterns or self-destructive behaviors. I view this as a collaborative process where I merge my wisdom and expertise of psychology with the wisdom and expertise I believe people have on themselves - whether or not they are currently aware of it. I strive to cultivate a genuine therapeutic relationship where exploration of the past and present can occur safely and all parts of one's self can be witnessed and addressed without judgement. In my free time I enjoy hanging out with my German Shepherd, Dozier, creative writing, reading, being outdoors, lifting weights, spending time with friends, and traveling. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey!
First session
In the first session, I will collect a full history to better understand who you are and what has brought you to this very moment. We will discuss your goals and expectations for therapy. I'll also want to hear about any previous treatment experiences and what worked/didn't so that I can create an experience best tailored to your personality and needs.
Strengths
My clinical strengths include working with eating disorders and body image, trauma - especially surviving and healing from sexual trauma, personality concerns, relationship issues, and identity exploration.
Ideal clients
A person who is ready to dig deep, confront aspects of their inner world that they may be avoiding, and address the defense mechanisms that have hindered their ability to have the life and relationships they desire. Someone who is open to hearing feedback that may be difficult to hear and also open to being honest with how they are receiving ME - that honesty is critical for a strong therapeutic alliance that underlies effective therapy.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
I work from a psychodynamic foundation and integrate other modalities (CBT, ACT, DBT, IFS, etc) as needed to create a treatment experience tailored to your unique needs.
