Getting to know Faauuga Moliga-Puletasi

I specialize in treating trauma and anxiety in adults. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and my approach to therapy is to build a trusting relationship that helps us dive into difficult parts of your life that has weighed heavily on you. I then help you address your trauma and anxiety symptoms so that you can live a peaceful and happy life. My approach I am big on using the following approaches to help people work through their trauma and anxiety. I off EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness to really get to the core of your triggers. From there we continue using these methods to unravel the pain and eventually leading to a more peaceful state of mind and emotion. My focus I work with adults who have undergone traumas experienced through family upbringing or their living environment. These traumas can have caused one to become very anxious or afraid to socialize, low self esteem, or just loss of hope in one self. My communication style Im very easy going and many have said I dont come off as a therapist. Im down to earth and people oriented. Therapy to me is more of a conversation between us that leads to healing. My journey to mental healthcare I started my first therapy session at the age of 26. After the first day I knew I wanted to become a therapist. The healing I received from the first session propelled me to continue for the next four years. During those four years my life changed for the good. I no longer had the trauma symptoms I started with. I was more loving and caring of myself. I wanted to share this experience with others so I started my journey to become a therapist. My goals for you Goal setting is based on what individuals are looking for and also some input from what I believe can help one.
