I am a licensed mental health counselor, with 15 years experience working with ages 6-99. I have worked with Trauma victims, Anxiety issues, Depression, self esteem, domestic violence victims. Teenage/coming of age issues and Grief/Loss, Life changes. I have training in Trauma Focused - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and MIndfulness therapies. Which means (lol) I am an Experienced Licensed and trained professional that meets clients where their need is and works with client as a Team to resolve past issues and develop new, healthy pathways that they can take with them to grow.
The first session will be introductions and I will ask the client what has brought them to the GrowTherapy platform. What is going on in your life you want to discuss and improve? How can I help you, or what would you like to discuss? This will give the client a chance to try the plat form out and unload some burden on the first session.
I am a great listener and pay attention to how things connect, or areas that may be lacking or need to be addressed, utilizing therapeutic methods.
