LP, 21 years of experience
My name is Dr. Bonnie Floyd. I'm a clinical health psychologist. This profession merges my dual interests in clinical psychology and medicine. I assist clients with chronic illness to live their best possible lives. They work with me to focus on maximizing their strengths, and decrease their focus upon their weaknesses. Even after more than twenty years, I still remain passionate about what I do!
During our first session, clients will be asked what their goals are for receiving therapy.
My greatest strength as a provider is that I understand chronic illness from both a professional, as well as a personal, perspective.
I enjoy working with newly-diagnosed individuals who need accurate information regarding their medical conditions. It is deeply rewarding to discuss their concerns about how their lives will change as a result of their diagnosis.
I typically use a CBT workbook that contains exercises which clients complete between sessions. This allows for the practical application of CBT concepts in areas including self-esteem, relationships, stress management, dealing with guilt, and coping with addictive tendencies.
