Getting to know Jonathan Balcar

Thank you for reaching out today. support clients working through grief, anxiety, and loss, including experiences like infertility and emotional trauma. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I am here to help people who struggle to understand and express their emotions. My approach My priority as a therapist is building the therapy-client alliance and working collaboratively to help people meet their own goals. I use active listening and engagement to support people who are experiencing difficulty. My focus I specialize in working with people dealing with grief, loss, anxiety, and trauma. Some experiences include infertility and emotional trauma. I help people deal with grief and express their emotions. My communication style The techniques I employ most often are active listening and immediacy. I help bring the client's experience to the present. The client's experience, emotions, and understanding are most important, and my communication style helps me get out of the way of these things. My journey to mental healthcare I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and after working with patients in hospitals for years, I discovered that I wanted to help people overcome grief and other mental blocks to achieve goals that extend beyond just feeling better. My goals for you From day one, we collaboratively create goals that the client wants to reach. I am here to help the client articulate and process these goals. I use techniques such as guided discovery to help clients understand their barriers and how to move past them. My first session with you The first session is all about the client visualizing barriers and the goals they are striving to reach. It is an open space for the client to discover their own reasons for reaching out for help. I work collaboratively with people to process emotions. The act of processing emotions can be a huge relief at the start of the therapy journey.
