Getting to know Beverly Toussaint

Hi there, I'm Beverly! I am a licensed independent clinical social worker in the District of Columbia with a Master's in Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I have over ten years of independent clinical experience providing counseling services for federal government employees, individuals and families in non-profit, medical, and military settings. My approach My approach to therapy is client-centered at all times. I tend to use solution-focused and cognitive behavioral approaches most often in talk therapy sessions because they allow the client to take the lead while I support their progress. My focus I treat clients with various diagnoses and find that those who are open to change, growth, and motivated to take action in their lives make the most progress in the long run. My communication style During sessions, I am supportive and motivating. My clients have often told me and others that with my assistance, they felt they could handle things they didn't think they could before. My journey to mental healthcare I grew up seeing people in the community shouldering burdens and not asking for help. I noticed patterns of behavior that were “revolving doors,” where people repeated the same behaviors with no progress. I chose to study psychology and then social work to understand both the macro and micro sides of mental health and social needs of individuals and communities. I want to help in those areas. My goals for you When it comes to goal setting, we work together to create an action plan and steps needed to accomplish the goals you want to reach by the end of treatment. It's fully client-led-I just help you hone in on and pinpoint exactly what you want to happen in the end. My first session with you During the first session, we discuss your background, the presenting problems you want help with, and develop an action plan to reach the goals you want to achieve in treatment.
