New to Grow
I have been working in the social work field since May 1995. Have worked in various settings, including NYS, agencyies in both NYS and Florida, hospital setting, and private practice. I also worked prior to completing MSW in finance-NYC, laws firms, and in sales. Have been married and experienced divorce. I have two adult children and one grandchild. Live on my own and enjoy the peace that an introvert needs. Love all the arts, play a musical instrument, paint, draw, and love to fix my 215 year old home.
In the first session, wel will go over your personal history, the reason for therapeutic intrevention, your goals and how to address. Also will review in take paperwork done prior to the first session for accuracy.
I am dedicated to my clients and care about them. I am patient but also straight forward. I will use whatever will assst you in your jorney toward change. Accelerated Resolution therapy is one that takes between 4-5 session for the release of past trauma, etc. Because it works so well and takes only a few sessions, it is my favorite method. I do like to see results as I would think my client would also like as well.
ideal match would be someone who is ready for therapy and is willing to put in the work to change. As a therapist, I can not help you unless you are on board and wiling to keep appointments, call when need to change, and complete assignhments given for the space between sessions. Need a person with a strong committment to the process and as your thapist I will be behind you fully. No matter what your experience has been in therapy in the past will work with you for your benefit.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
We all need to be accepted as we are. Rogerian practice is just that. Starting where you and how you are and going at a pace that makes sense to you.
Mind-body approach
Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Master level practitioner. Have used this approach to truama, fears, anxeity, depression, for 3-4 years. Have used this type of therapy for fears of sankes, trains, after car accidents, and performance anxiety as well. This mind boy appriach uses REM sleep via hand movements to resolve past or present difficulties.
Eclectic
Therapy is not a one size fits all. I will use many approaches as those mentioned and also art, music, dance, drama as avencues for insight and relief, catharsis.
