LPC, 12 years of experience
I am Rhonda, a highly experienced counselor dedicated to supporting individuals across all age groups, including military families, through various life stages. As a military parent and former middle school teacher and counselor, I possess a deep understanding of family dynamics and the challenges unique to these environments. My expertise includes addressing family structure challenges and guiding clients through grief and loss using evidence-based methods such as Solution Focused Brief Treatment and Grief Therapy. I specialize in working with school-aged children, adolescents, and military families, offering a safe and compassionate space for healing, growth, and overcoming personal obstacles.
Clients can expect a collaborative, compassionate approach tailored to their unique needs and goals. In our first session, we will focus on building rapport and understanding your concerns. We'll develop a personalized treatment plan that outlines clear objectives and steps to achieve them. Throughout our sessions, you’ll gain tools and strategies to address current challenges, enhance your emotional well-being, and build lasting resilience.
I bring extensive experience working with school-aged children and adolescents, helping families navigate challenges related to communication, behavior, and emotional regulation. My background as a military parent and counselor provides me with unique insight into the hidden and sometimes complex struggles that military families face, such as frequent transitions, deployments, and reintegration. These experiences have shaped my ability to offer practical, empathetic support that addresses both visible and underlying issues.
I prefer older teens, 12+ and young adults (21 +), as well as military connected clients and middle adults.
When using this technique I will walk this journey of counseling with you to discover solutions that you can add to your tool box.
Grief and loss doesn't have to be complicated. It is a different process for everyone. I can help you develop a plan to help navigate your grief and loss.
