MJ Flockhart
Hi & Hola! I'm MJ. Are you ready to overcome obstacles and barriers to happiness. I can help you!
I have also worked with school districts for many years so I understand how to support my adolescent clients, and their parents so they can get the best of the public education system.
I understand that many times, even though we want to feel happy and achieve goals such as loosing weight, or finding the right partner, or a great job, we struggle in achieving these dreams because of our mental health state. It's ok! I get it! If you're ready, however, to live a fully, joyful life I can help you identify and overcome some of those mental health barriers that are not allowing you to live life to the fullest. You deserve a great life! And I can help you get it!! I'm have experience working with clients with anxiety, trauma, and depression. In my therapeutic process I like to help clients recognize symptoms, triggers, and develop strategies and tools to learn how to cope with those symptoms. Sometimes this process can be straight forward, but sometimes it requires time and a deep understanding of ourselves. Here's where I consider the therapeutic relationship to be crucial! I will listen and help you, if you haven't already, identify triggers and symptoms and develop goals so you can take control and live a happy life. Ofrezco servicios en Español.
First session
During my sessions you'll be able to have a space to talk about your concerns, your reasons for seeking therapy and you'll be able to get some guidance to know how to manage whatever symptoms you're experiencing. While the initial sessions may feel, for some, uncomfortable and a bit 'stiff' (which btw it's totally normal), once we get to develop more rapport you'll find it easier to share concerns and areas where you want to work and get support. Your mental health is important and I validate that in our sessions.
Strengths
I have many years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults. I have helped many of my clients manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. This in turn, has helped many of them improve in their relationships, and self-esteem. I enjoy helping clients dealing with emotional eating, and struggling in relationships. With my adolescent clients I like to focus on helping them identify triggers and develop tools based on their particular needs. I have also worked with school districts for many years so I understand how to support my adolescent clients, and their parents so they can get the best of the public education system.
