I have over 25 years experience as a licensed mental health counselor and substance use working with individuals of all ages. I provide a safe, non judgmental environment. I support individuals by allowing you to gain insight, recognize, and utilize your own abilities to reach your goals. I currently work with adults. Together we can identify what is working and not working and get you back to feeling like yourself! Seeking therapy can be scary but you’re making the right decision. If you would like to contact the intake team, call 786-755-1863 or email reception+Lori-Ann8046@growtherapy.com.
During our first session, there will be a brief introduction and individuals typically discuss their reasons for seeking therapy as well as setting goals to address during sessions. There will be a collaborative discussion to help tailor the therapeutic approach to your needs.
I have an individualized, person centered/ approach. My treatment methods can vary such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy. Tools may include homework assignments, assessments, therapeutic exercises, and communication strategies tailored to the individual.
I feel my strengths are effective communication, empathy, active listening, adaptability to individual needs, and my ability to establish a strong therapeutic rapport.
