Getting to know Ricky Lomax
My ideal client is one who believes in actively participating in the therapeutic process. I believe that the client has all the tools necessary for healing; they just need to be encouraged and empowered to use them. I have worked with a host of mental and emotional issues, including Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, Paranoid Schizophrenia, Major Depression, and Conduct Disorder. I also work with individuals who have concerns related to their sexuality, including homosexuality, lesbianism, and bisexual relationships. I have witnessed a lot of success with children who have ADHD and have worked well with adults suffering from Major Depression and Bipolar Disorder. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling from Webster University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support my clients effectively.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My specialty focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy combined with Talk Therapy. I truly believe that what one thinks does or can affect or determine their behavior. If a person is allowed to hear or voice their concerns this leads to better insight and thus appropriate or healing behaviors.
I currently provide teletherapy as my primary means of rendering services and I take every effort to provide client's with privacy, protected HIPPA provisions, ample lighting and video presentation.
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.
