LPC, 5 years of experience
I am a mental health counselor that has worked with all populations except 8 and under. I two license in the state of Texas LPC, LSOTP. I have worked in the prison system and crisis working with server mental health. I am currently at a outpatient clinic that serves a vast different population of behavioral health and medical. I do private practice on the side and have two daughters. I love writing songs and playing guitar for fun.
I will do a full intake with questions covering a full background of identifying problems. Identifying symptoms and Biopsychosocial. I will identify risk factors and drug use. I will determine the treatment plan and goals for direction.
I feel my ability to build rapport at first and be non-judgmental. Once I establish that I challenge them. I get them to work thru their trauma experiencing it in different ways. I confront them, if need be, I give homework assignments and get them to think.
I actually love working with people battling addictions and working with couples. I am trained on sex addiction and how it effects families and couples. I like working people with all types of mental health disorders anxiety, depression, bipolar, and schizophrenia. I am good at working with grief and loss. I work with clients of all race and color and belief systems. I will work with a Christian to non-binary LGBTQ. I am compassionate and helping people be a better you.
I am not specialized in this just some trainings. I plan more certifications later. I love the approach of changing our thoughts to change behaviors. I work on belief systems and changing perspectives to deal with the trauma.
I use empathic listening and unconditional positive regard in my approach. I work on people to judge themselves less and acceptance more.
I like to use empty chair and experience the trauma thru guided imagery.
