Hey there, I am Tesia. I am a licensed clinical counselor in Florida with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping those with stress, self-esteem, anxiety, relationship issues, post-traumatic stress, and abuse. I also have experience working with family and communication-related problems. The first step in therapy is admitting that there are struggles that you need assistance with and with that; I have here to help assist you in becoming a better you. For many people, they have always been the ones to carry on others' problems without anyone being a sounding board for them. Please allow me to help you develop the tools you need in a safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.
In our first session, we first get to know each other and start building a relationship with each other. I will first understand what it that has brought you therapy and we will work out a treatment plan for goals of what you would like to accomplish.
One of the main treatment approaches that I utilized is the person-centered approach. I believe there is no cookie-cutter way to approach treatment and I focus on your needs only. Another big approach I use is the cognitive behavior approach. I believe that you can change the way you think, and the behavior will follow.
I worked as a trauma and anxiety specialist for five years. I have experience with domestic violence, victims of sexual assault, victims of violent crimes, inmates, veterans and their dependents.
I love working with adults would have face some struggles with life. I especially love working those who have experience some type of trauma and anxiety that has been caused by some distress in their life.
