Hi my name is Ebony, let's take the next therapeutic steps together. I have extensive experience in anger management, anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, trauma. I use a variety of techniques and strategies to assist my clients with achieving their desired therapeutic outcomes including motivational interviewing, CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care. I understand that sometimes life presents stressors and challenges that require additional support from others-and I'm here to help.
During our first session I would like to know what brought you to therapy, explore background details and presenting concernsn and then collaboratively explore and set your initial goals.
My greatest strength is my attunement, authenticity, sense of humor, and passion to support you with making positive changes in your emotional experiences and life choices.

They appreciate collaboration, provide constructive feedback, trusts the process, while also working to give themselves grace.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing is used in therapeutic practice with young adults to help them explore their ambivalence, strengthen intrinsic motivation, and empower them to make positive changes in their behaviors and life choices.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to help identify the interconnection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while increasing coping skills aiming to help individuals identify, label, and challenge distorted thoughts patterns that contribute to their emotional distress.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT is used to help individuals build skills to manage overwhelming emotions, improve relationships, and cope with stress through CBT using mindfulness, distress tolerance, improving communication and interpersonal skills, and setting boundaries.
