Getting to know Peggy Defazio

Are you challenged in this ever-changing and frequently unexpected environment we currently live in? I can help you increase your self-confidence in successfully navigating challenges by examining limiting thoughts and learning practical and effective strategies. My focus I specialize in working with adult women who, for whatever reason, don't feel confident in their ability to successfully manage life. Working together in a supportive setting, we'll examine thoughts that may be contributing to this lack of confidence, as well as learn enhanced strategies to increase confidence and life satisfaction. My approach I use empathy, acceptance, humor, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies in my approach to therapy. I believe this combination helps you feel supported so you can examine thoughts that may be complicating your life, while giving you additional tools to manage life's challenges to your satisfaction. My communication style My communication style is honest, open, and straightforward. I believe life is hard enough without having to spend time trying to figure out what someone meant, so I encourage you to ask questions, and I will ask questions myself, until we reach a mutual understanding. My journey to mental healthcare I initially became a therapist because family wasn't able to get the support they wanted to improve their lives. I continue as a therapist because it's an honor to work with individuals, who may have experienced the worst life has to offer, develop the life they want. My goals for you Therapy is a partnership we build together to help increase your life satisfaction. You are the expert on your life. It's as though you're the driver and I'm the navigator - you decide where we go, and I offer suggestions on how to get there, but as the driver, you make the final decisions on the speed and direction.
