Getting to know Thomas Wait

My name is Tom, and I look forward to meeting you where you are on your journey and helping you establish anchors in the storms you might be facing. Together we'll embrace hope and healing and set sail toward a brighter tomorrow. My approach I take a person-centered approach by meeting you where you are on your journey. I utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to offer you a mindful and grounded approach to the challenges you may be facing. I additionally take a trauma-focused approach to allow for healing and recovery. My focus I thoroughly enjoy working with all populations. I pride myself on working with individuals who might be struggling, particularly with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Relationships, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, and challenges associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder. My communication style I take a direct, transparent approach to communication, delivering information in a calm, supportive environment. I want you to feel safe, supported, and comfortable. I will tailor my approach to meet your needs. My journey to mental healthcare As a former foster care and adoptive parent, I witnessed gaps in services for children in care. I chose to pursue a path that allowed me to make an impact on lives and provide a service in rural communities that did not otherwise have the resources. This has been a fulfilling experience for me. My goals for you I thrive on an action-based approach. I want you to feel you are making progress in the areas of life you feel are challenging. Whether you set goals or action plans, I want you to feel that you are making progress in the areas you find challenging and find my approach supportive of your needs. My first session with you I want us to spend time getting to know each other so that we both feel comfortable. Don't worry, I have icebreakers if your nerves get the best of you. Going to therapy for the first time can be a bit nerve-racking, and that's okay
