Getting to know Larissa Dowe
Welcome! I'm Larissa Dowe, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Clinical Social Work and a Bachelor's degree from the University of St. Thomas. I am dedicated to supporting children, adolescents, and caregivers through life's challenges. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, and trauma, and I have a deep passion for helping children and mothers navigate life transitions and parenting stress.
Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I aim to create a safe, compassionate space where you or your child can feel heard, understood, and empowered. Our initial sessions will focus on getting to know you and collaboratively creating a plan that addresses your unique needs.
I offer exclusively telehealth sessions, making it convenient to receive support from the comfort of your home. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to growth and resilience.
What should a new client know about working with you?
1. Collaborative and Compassionate Approach: My priority is to understand your unique experiences and to work together in a way that makes you feel safe, respected, and empowered. I believe in a collaborative process, where we’ll create goals and a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
2. Focus on Understanding and Growth: In our initial sessions, I’ll take time to get to know you—your challenges, strengths, and hopes. This helps us establish a foundation built on trust and understanding, which is essential for meaningful growth.
3. Telehealth Convenience: I offer telehealth-only sessions, which means you can connect with me from wherever you feel most comfortable. This can be especially helpful for busy parents, caregivers, or anyone looking for the flexibility of virtual therapy.
4. Warm, Non-Judgmental Environment: I provide a welcoming and empathetic space, ensuring you feel supported in discussing whatever is on your mind. Whether we’re focusing on anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, or parenting challenges, you can expect a compassionate, non-judgmental environment.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
1. Getting to Know You: During our first few sessions, I focus on understanding your unique story, experiences, and challenges. This involves exploring your goals, what’s brought you to therapy, and identifying your strengths and areas for growth.
2. Developing a Collaborative Plan: Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that addresses your specific needs and aligns with your goals. This collaborative approach ensures you feel empowered and involved in shaping your therapy journey.
3. Utilizing Evidence-Based Techniques: I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) to guide our sessions. These methods provide effective tools for managing anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, trauma, and more, helping you develop skills for long-lasting change.
4. Building a Supportive, Safe Space: I prioritize creating a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment. My goal is to help you feel comfortable expressing yourself openly and exploring difficult emotions, thoughts, or situations.
5. Adjusting as We Go: Therapy is a dynamic process. As we work together, I’ll check in regularly to ensure the approach remains aligned with your evolving needs and goals. We’ll celebrate progress, address any challenges, and adapt the plan as necessary to keep you moving forward.
6. Emphasizing Sustainable Growth: I believe in equipping you with practical skills and insights you can use beyond our sessions, fostering resilience and sustainable growth. By building on your strengths and supporting your goals, I help you create meaningful change that lasts.
