Getting to know Gena Taylor-Tidwell
Congratulations on taking this step towards your personal wellness! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Kentucky--National Certified Counselor (NCC certified). I received my Master's degree from Walden University of Minnesota and my undergraduate degree from Murray State University in Kentucky. I help adults understand and navigate a variety of concerns to empower them to become the best versions of themselves.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I enjoy working with adults ages 18+. My clients are eager to improve, but might not have the insight, support or tools needed to make their goals a reality. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed and/or isolated, there are multiple techniques we can explore to find what works best for you!
The first session is a starting point for establishing a client/counselor connection, which is essential to the therapeutic experience. We will start with brief introductions and review intake information. You and I will and identify expectations for therapy then outline your needs and goals which will help us create a tailored plan to work through in your follow-up sessions. After that, we will be ready to dive into the specific challenges you're facing.
I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their concerns. While I am clinical and conscientious in my approach, I also believe in maintaining a relaxed atmosphere and incorporating humor when appropriate. I find that providing resources can be beneficial for many clients, but I am happy to adjust my approach based on your needs. I offer telehealth sessions Tuesday-Saturday, 10-4p. Sessions may be negotiated outside of these hours upon special circumstances.
I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
