Getting to know Xavier Walker
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of New York. I work with clients statewide who seek therapy for various issues. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, stress, interpersonal relationships, and depression, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy to help clients make progress and start feeling better.
My focus
I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adult clients aged 18-70 who may be dealing with challenges in their relationships and emotional distress. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma, grief, self-doubt, issues in interpersonal relationships, family issues, anger management, motivation, and more.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy, as both modalities help me and the client build a shared understanding of their reality and allow us to work together to forge a path forward. We work together to accomplish your therapy goals.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. Therefore, I use the best tone to form a working alliance with clients. This would be a calming and accepting environment that is free and safe from judgment. I strive to create casual and safe sessions to address both deep-rooted issues and surface-level concerns.
My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. As a young child, I had a lot of relatives who had to manage various mental health issues and concerns. As a teenager, I always enjoyed talking to my friends about their problems. I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times.
My goals for you
When setting goals with clients, I take the role of a partner. This often starts by building trust between us and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. We work together
