Arlana Buxton-Carter
Hello, I’m Arlana Buxton-Carter. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing Psychotherapy in the state of Michigan. I have worked with clients like yourself who struggle with the seemingly impossible demands that life places at our feet.
Having worked with a multicultural population for the past 7 years, I’ve developed an understanding of people that not only includes human differences but cultural differences as well.
I provide a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.
First session
In our first session we’ll start with brief introductions. Together, we will identify your challenges and goals – where you want your life to be a month, six months, a year from now. Then, we’ll identify options and strategies you can use to get there. You’ll leave the session with a better understanding of what you’re facing with an “actions I can take right now” approach. There will always be room for suggestions concerning our work together, including keeping each other accountable.
Strengths
Having worked with a multicultural population for the past 7 years, I’ve developed an understanding of people that not only includes human differences but cultural differences as well. Sometimes the challenges we face are rooted in our culture and upbringing, our environment. In order to understand ourselves, we must understand the world around us we live in within our communities. I’ve developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping clients identify the root cause of their challenges and create a treatment plan that leads to measurable progress.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with young adults, older adults, baby boomers, and seniors. My clients are eager to improve but don’t have the tools needed to make their goals a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their future.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I've been using CBT in my practice for the past seven years. It's helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We'll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We'll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
