Getting to know Adam Colson

Hello, I am Adam Colson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. I have worked with people of all ages, from children as young as 10 to adults as old as 65. I am 60 years old, so I've lived long enough to help many people and to see a lot of what life can offer us, both positive and negative. I am a straight man, married, and have over 10 years of clinical social work and therapy experience. My approach I have an eclectic approach, utilizing different modalities depending on what is best for each client. Often, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My focus I have experience helping clients with stress and anxiety, depression, dating and relationships, couples therapy, family conflicts, parenting issues, and anger management. I tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique needs. My communication style I work from my home office and have a casual, friendly relationship with clients. I mostly listen at first and am a good listener and note taker. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had a desire to help people and have worked in helping fields such as social work and teaching. Initially, I was passionate about helping unhoused people and later moved on to providing psychotherapy for adults, children, and families. Like many, I have overcome my own mental health and substance struggles and have a strong desire to help others overcome theirs. My goals for you Your treatment goals are YOURS, not ones I choose. I help you focus on and prioritize your goals, often using S.M.A.R.T. goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. My first session with you I take a complete Bio, Psycho, Social history concentrating on your physical and mental health.
