More about Darren Thomas, LMFT
My name is Darren Thomas, LMFT 134517. I approach therapy from a client-centered, existential, and humanistic perspective, viewing the therapeutic relationship as the most essential component of healing for individuals, couples, and families. I work primarily with adolescents, young adults, and adults learning to navigate the world as their authentic selves.
My approach
With Rogerian client-centered therapy, I focus on developing a strong rapport with the client and, with the development of trust, then implement an approach tailored to the client's needs as defined by the client. I commonly use CBT, Gestalt, and existential approaches toward healing with adolescents, but I will base my approach on the self-defined needs of my client.
My focus
I typically work with adolescents and young adults who have come to an impasse in their lives, making the transition from childhood into the adult they want to be and how they navigate in a challenging world as their true authentic selves. I deal with anxiety, depression, the causes of their manifestations, and learning disabilities that could be inhibiting self-worth.
My communication style
I like my clients to feel comfortable sharing in sessions and tend to communicate in a style that is relatable, human, and colloquial to aid in this process. Working with me will be like having a fellow traveler on the journey and making a decision to become who you want to be.
My journey to therapy
I found myself in my previous work history; the common component of my job was connecting with other people. I eventually decided to make the switch to therapy so that that connection was paramount above other concerns. I am driven to do this work because I know the value of a reassuring voice that believes in teenagers or young adults as they learn to navigate the world.
