Ken Seeley
Hello! I AM ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR BOTH IN PERSON (IF YOU LIVE NEAR AKRON) and virtually in OH. I have been counseling for 14 years. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a Level -2 Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety and/or psychological trauma, I want to help you. I have experience in many areas. I do NOT work with children under 18 at this time and I do NOT do couples counseling. Currently, I work with adults. I also run a Christian nonprofit for those without insurance. (Ask about this if you don't have insurance or have a low income.)
When clients are able to successfully put into practice the skills and concepts learned in therapy and show improved scores on PHQ, GAD AND PCL scores.
First session
I will complete a comprehensive diagnostic assessment and provide my recommendations. I typically do a PTSD and/or ADHD assessments during the second appointment if the initial screening indicates a need for these measures.
Strengths
My biggest strength is that I practice the very skills I teach. I use the same set of tools to work through my life that I propose to my clients.
Ideal clients
Trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety with Christian values preferred but not required.
Treatment methods
Faith-based therapy
I use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, dialectical therapy skills, self-regulation (body/mind) and mindfulness and polyvagal theory. My wheel house is Christian counseling but I also do just straight CBT/DBT skills and self regulation without a Christian component.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT as as basis for most counseling incorporating psychological and physiological regulation through skills and concepts to help you overcome and adapt to life situations and emotions.
Trauma-Informed Care
As a certified trauma professional I understand trauma - even if it does not rise to the level of PTSD or complex trauma still plays a role in treatment. I strive to help you understand your current life experiences in the context of your historical experiences. I use a timeline, self-regulation in the current context and "The SPACE Framework" to help you work through life situations.
