Getting to know Lashandra Kirkman

Hi there, I'm Lashandra! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a strong background in mental health and substance abuse treatment, and I am dedicated to providing compassionate and effective support to individuals and families navigating challenging times. My goal as a mental health counselor is to work with individuals, families, and communities to deal with issues pertaining to behavior, cognition, and emotions. My approach I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my primary approach to providing therapy. CBT is an evidence-based treatment that allows clients to master their emotions to overcome anxiety, depression, ptsd, and negative thoughts. Therefore, using CBT as a tool it allows me to help the individuals to negate various false perceptions and unnecessary emotional disturbances in their lives. My focus My client focus is typically individual sessions with adolescents and adults who are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, ptsd, and substance abuse disorder. I tailor sessions to meet the needs of each age group, ensuring that therapy is age-appropriate and effective. My communication style I believe communication is a fundamental part of counseling. My Communication styles help clients express their thoughts, feelings, and needs by fostering healthier interactions and a supportive and safe environment. I aim to create effective communication by establishing trust with clients. Furthermore, I utilize active listening skills, empathize with clients, and understand their needs. My journey to mental healthcare My interest in mental health stems from growing up with family members who struggle with substance use problems. This exposure has led me on the path of wanting to help people with substance use problems as well as mental health issues. I have completed a Master's degree in mental health counseling, which has given me the foundation and knowledge.
