What should a new client know about working with you?
Hello, I'm Karis Wold and I'm a licensed social worker working in Arizona and Connecticut. I graduated from New York University with a Master's in Social Work in 2002, and over the last two decades, I've gained a wealth of experience working in diverse therapy environments. I am dedicated to serving those who feel isolated and have had difficulties finding a safe space in therapy. My approach is solution-focused and goal-oriented, and I am passionate about tailoring my care to your feedback. I believe in the power of collaboration and actively involve you in the therapeutic process to help you craft your individual vision of a life-worth-living. I rely heavily on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills training and mindfulness. My practice is trauma-informed, and I have extensively studied DBT, EMDR and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. Preparation work before targeting traumatic memories is important to me so that you work at a pace with which you are comfortable, and feel well-resourced. Whether you're dealing with adjustment difficulties, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, depression, grief, OCD, and/or trauma, I am here to support you.
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.
