What should a new client know about working with you?
With over 20 years of experience in the field of Social Work, I have dedicated my career to empowering the lives of adolescents, children, adults, and families. My work has included serving as a Mental Health Associate at a Residential Inpatient Treatment Facility, a Case Manager for DFACS, and the Director of Clinical Services for a Community-Based Mental Health agency. For the past five years, I have been the owner of a private Mental Health Practice.
Throughout my career, I have conducted Adoption studies, trained Foster Parents, and provided Individual, Family, and Group Counseling, Drug and Alcohol Counseling, Couples Counseling and Employee Assistance Program services. I have worked with clients of all ages, ranging from 5 to 80 years old.
As a therapist, I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I am also trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy. My clients often present with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADD/ADHD. I believe that people have the innate ability to heal themselves, but sometimes need guidance in uncovering the issues that create barriers in their lives. I am here to assist you in achieving your goals.
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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Be open and honest: It's important 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
