Hello, my name is Stephanie Brinkley Wellon, and I am a licensed psychotherapist. My work focuses on helping individuals navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, grief and bereavement, couples counseling, ADHD, trauma and PTSD, family communication/therapy, relationship issues, parenting and anger management. As a licensed clinician practicing since 2004, I truly understand the importance of providing a safe and confidential environment to support clients with developing resiliency skills, deepening self-understanding and creating meaningful and lasting change in their lives.
I want to get to know you, your history of circumstances of which caused you to arrive at this point in your life but more importantly, I want to here about your goals for moving forward to healing. We will explore what your life will look like should you obtain those goals. I operate from the traditional modality and understand the importance of obtaining a thorough bio-psycho-social history during our first meeting ,however I am also known to offer treatment strategies during the initial session as well.
As a clinician it is my responsibility to support clients during their process of healing. As a trained and experienced therapy, I am skilled in assessment, diagnosing, as well as identifying underpinning or underlying causes of potential symptoms. With a diagnosis in hand, I am also trained in treating most mental health disorders. Additionally and during those occasions when it is assessed that a client does not meet criteria for therapy, I am well versed and knowledgeable of services, resources that might better align with the clients needs and as a result, referrals are made for more appropriately aligned services.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Thoughts create experiences. CBT therapy is an essential treatment modality that I consider effective for identifying, challenging and disrupting faulty thinking patterns .
EMDR
I have chosen to incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy into my practice to support clients needing support with processing and healing from traumatic or distressing experiences. This modality has proven to be quite successful with supporting clients who are aware of how past traumatic experiences are showing up in the present.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients that are experiencing challenges with managing intense emotions. Based in CBT therapy, DBT has proven to be effective in treating individuals presenting with symptoms alighed with Borderline Personality Disorder and other mental health disorders. The key is distress management and emotional regulation.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
In practice emotion focused therapy allows the client to explore, understand and express their emotions and attachment needs, transforming negative interactions patterns and strengthening their emotional bonds. Through heightened levels of awareness client are able to provide their bodies what is needed most.
Grief Therapy
Grief never ends because love never dies. I offer a individualized approach to grief therapy. Essential during this therapeutic modality is for the client to identify their understanding of grief or what has happened, exploration of their new identify since the loss, unresolved grief and loss issues that might be attributing to symptoms and finally learning how to continue their lives in a productive manner without the physical presence of the ones that they love.
