Hello there, my name is Glenise. I would be honored to walk alongside you on your Journey Back To You, if YOU allow it. I work with adult men and women who are experiencing life stressors that can range from past hurts, relationship issues, communication issues, work-related issues, and all of the various life stressors that we, as humans experience. I meet you where you are and assist you in using the resources that you have within you and outside of you. If you are struggling or feeling "stuck" or "lost"; maybe even questioning your purpose; or are simply wanting to do better for yourself, I can assist. I individualize your therapy experience and work with you as you do the hard work. Please schedule a 15 minute free consult with me to determine if we are good fit and when you are ready, let's get started on this journey, I got you. Visit: Simplythrivesolutions.com to learn more about me and what I do. Peace and Love, Glenise ~ Your Intensive Care Bear Therapist.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Typically, your first session is called an intake session. I complete a very thorough session with you in where I get to know you, I ask a lot of questions, and then we come up with a plan for your treatment. I would encourage you to observe your therapist during this session to determine if it is a good fit for you and your needs. This session is typically from 45 minutes to 60 minutes. I will ask you a lot of questions about your past and present experiences however, you have the right to decline to answer which is never a problem. Be at ease. Come to your first session as yourself and we can go from there. You and I will collaborate together to come up with a good treatment plan and I will give you next steps towards the end of your session. Next steps typically include the recommended frequency for your sessions, a treatment plan to begin the hard work, and answer any other questions that you may be curious about. Expect to laugh a little bit and to be heard.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize evidence-based techniques and I am eclectic and psychodynamic. I like to use a variety of methods that have been proven to be effective. I am also trained in EMDR treatment and offer EMDR for clients that are appropriate for this treatment. EMDR treatment is not psychotherapy and it is a stand-alone treatment modality. Please schedule a consult if you are specifically interested in EMDR only.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strengths are that I am nosy and I actively listen to your story. I am pretty funny, highly sensitive and intuitive. I am relatable and can resonate with many of my client's life stressors. My specialties are trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication issues, work-related issues, criminal justice issues, divorce issues, stress management, anger management, and other mental health-related issues.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Adult Men and Women who may feel "lost", "stuck", "alone", "misunderstood", "unheard", not motivated, finding meaning or purpose, and/or life stressors that continue to impact you negatively. Lastly, I also assist Men and Women overcome difficulties with asserting boundaries with themselves and others; and navigating challenging situations with effective solutions and interventions. Men and Women who have been involved in the criminal justice system or are currently involved in the criminal justice system and need assistance with managing the stressors that come with compliance issues or having to participate in mandated programs/treatment. [For example - probation/parole/jail/prison]
