Getting to know Solomon Wells

Hi there, I'm Solomon! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a master's level credentialed alcohol and substance abuse counselor (CASAC) with 20 years of experience. I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University Brooklyn. I specialize in addiction (substance use), anxiety, depression, sex & gender (LGBTQI+), relationship issues, self-esteem, and behavior issues. My approach I offer a safe and judgment-free space where we collaborate to build coping strategies and gain insight. The therapeutic approaches I use include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Psychoeducation, and strength perspective approaches. My focus I typically work with people of color, individuals with alternative lifestyles, and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. I treat addictions (obsession and compulsion), substance use (drugs and/or alcohol), anxiety, depression, LGBTQI+ concerns, stress, childhood trauma (PTSD), racial inequality, behavior issues, anger management, and finding life purpose. My communication style My style is assertive and collaborative, aiming to create a safe, open environment where clients feel comfortable sharing while receiving clear guidance and feedback. I actively listen, ask clarifying questions, and tailor my approach to each individual's needs, fostering a sense of partnership throughout sessions. My journey to mental healthcare My journey started young, with parents who valued service and fairness. I come from a background that values social justice and helping others. As an adult, I faced many injustices and setbacks, which helped build character. I have overcome challenges and decided my purpose is to help others overcome theirs.
