LPCMH, 14 years of experience
New to Grow
I have been a Mind, Body and Spirit counselor for 14 years. As a Pastoral Counselor I will help you examine not just your mental and physical well-being but also your spiritual well-being. I will to listen to you and assist you in examining your life, provide you with insight that will help you to determine what is the right course for you.
Our first session, we will take the time to get to know each other. Counseling needs to be a "good fit" to be beneficial. You will walk away from our first sessions with some tools and techniques that if practiced will assist you to feel better.
I am a pastoral counselor, I don't usually counsel pastors, although I can. This means that my mental health degree has a spiritual spin which fits in well to my holistic apporach for a mind, body spirit connection,
Therapy is about change. Are you willing to change and not expect others to change? If so, then we will work well together. I can assist in helping you change your uncomfortable thoughts. I will give you tools and techniques that will assist in your therapy journey.
I believe in homework that engages the client in treatment. This is also necessary to practice the self talk necessary to stop the uncomfortable thoughts.
This technique fits in nicely with Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy in assisting the client with traumatic thoughts.
