Hi there, I’m Dr. Temperance Thomas. Do you feel your moods are unpredictable and your actions are often exaggerated? Are you struggling to maintain self-control? I can help with giving you the tools that you need to function under pressure. Together we can develop and implement effective coping skills to maintain the stability that you need in your life to function day in and out. Counseling techniques, such as cognitive behavioral therapy can help you to understand how you think can contribute to the way you feel and behave to certain situations. I find that it is the safest technique to cover come moody behaviors.

Hello, glad you are here. My name is Dawn Taylor I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Christian Counselor, and Certified NLP Life Coach. I am the founder and owner of Caterpillar Counseling LLC. My motto is " we make changes from the inside out." I believe counseling/therapy is a time of transformation, where the client gets to learn about themselves. My approach is to guide the client through the process of change and healing with the destination being resilience and security in self. As someone who has had many different experiences, I believe I bring a unique perspective and understanding to clients in being able to guide them effectively in their process of change. I use a body, mind, and soul approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in our lives. I believe it is important that the sessions be tailored to the client's needs and that the client is part of the decisions in their treatment. In my experience, the truth sets us free and is often an agent for change. The question then becomes do you want to change and are you willing to do the work necessary for that change? If this is you then I am the counselor for you.

Empowering Your Journey to Mental Well-Being: Counseling with Michael Thompson Creating a Safe Space for Personal Growth and Empowerment: Hey there! I'm Michael Thompson, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and groups through tough times. I believe in the power of personal autonomy and self-determination, and my goal is to help you achieve optimal mental health, emotional well-being, and personal empowerment. In therapy, I create a safe space where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings, discover your strengths, and overcome any obstacles in your path. I specialize in helping people with addictive behaviors, depression, personality disorders, severe mental illness, anxiety, major life changes, low self-esteem, relationship issues, career challenges, and finding their identity as adults.  Tailored Approaches for Your Unique Needs: I use a variety of approaches that are tailored to your specific needs. We might work with contemplative therapy, where we focus on being present and mindful. Or we could explore acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps you align your actions with your values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) might be helpful in challenging negative thoughts, and cognitive processing therapy (CPT) could assist with processing traumatic experiences. I also believe in motivational interviewing to help you find the motivation and inspiration to make positive changes.

Hi, I would like to start with a personal quote I came up with working in addiction treatment for many years. "Fate is for people who fail to take action. Destiny is for people who refuse to accept their failures as fate." Me Simply put, I would be honored and privileged to be a part of your healing journey. I consider myself to be a therapist who is qualified both because of education and utilization of evidence based treatments; and the experiential learning and continued growth of my own life path. I would love to meet you exactly where you are on your current journey and help empower you to move forward. "Unity consciousness is a state of enlightenment where we pierce the mask of illusion which creates separation and fragmentation. Behind the appearance of separation is one unified field of wholeness. Here the seer and the scenery are one." Deepak Chopra
