Getting to know Jeffrey Helms

What is the process of therapy? Entering therapy with a licensed counselor is not to be taken lightly. Over the course of therapy, you can expect to get to the root of how you honestly feel and what changes you want to make. Are you angry? Express it! Are you sad? Cry! I hold a Master's in Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University, and I will help you do whatever it takes to process the reason for coming to counseling and start to build the pieces of a plan to reach your desired outcome. What can you expect from therapy? To be in a safe place and have an ally walking alongside you. What can you expect in therapy? Good things. Come on in!

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me is very easy. A session with me comes with acceptance, zero judgment, and a place to feel safe emotionally. My job is to intensely listen to everything you say and give you a sense of hope with a map leading to change. You will realize you are safe when we are working together. I offer you the opportunity to be present in whatever situation you are dealing with. I will show you that you have much more control and many more options than you thought. Some sessions will require some homework and things to think through. Most importantly, you will have a roadmap to find the answers you have been searching for. Soon, you will find that I am just like you in that I have been through the challenges and victory that therapy brings.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy concentrates on a person’s thinking, whether healthy or unhealthy, and how that can be modified. Many issues, such as depression and anxiety, come from learned behaviors that you may have had since childhood and took for granted. These behaviors could result in your being overly critical of yourself, because a parent was like that toward you. It may be realizing that you greatly value other people’s approval, and you have made some unhealthy choices because of this. CBT examines thinking patterns unknown to you. When a decision is made, do you find that your mind goes to the worst-case scenario? Maybe you are in an unsatisfying relationship. You have been scared to do something, so you will not make your significant other angry. With CBT you can start to learn better ways of coping with your present reality, which in turn will relieve your symptoms. You will start to become more effective and proactive with your actions.
