Therapy Is Self- Discovery LCSW P.C.
About
I have over 20 years of clinical experience and pastoral care experience. I have worked with those who suffer from the disease of addiction and those who have mental health concerns from mukd adjustment disorder to schizoaffective illness.
My approach us to use Motivational Interviewing to assess where someone is in their life's journey and then to begin unpacking one's emotional burdens in order to find and free oneself if the things which hold one bound.
Another resource for some is Mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and anxiety allowing a person to identify patterns both of cognitive and behavioral nature.
Telecounseling is available on a secured HIPPA system for those who cannot travel or have a busy schedule. An assessment will determine if this is the best means for counseling sessions.
In my years if practice I truly enjoy watching those who I have journeyed with free themself from emotional pain and suffering. Therapy is hard work but the rewards are life giving and life changing for those who dare to journey within.
