My Expert Service
|

Professional Counseling: I offer each client a private consultation to identify issues and concerns, a comprehensive bio-psychosocial assessment, personalized intervention plan, educational resources and support. I am skilled in providing quality psychotherapeutic services.
Treatment of everyday problems is more often referred to as counseling but the term is sometimes used interchangeably with "psychotherapy". Psychotherapy is a wide range of techniques which use only dialog and communication and which are designed to improve the mental health of a client or patient, or to improve group relationships (such as in a family). Most forms of psychotherapy use only spoken conversation, though some also use various other forms of communication such as the written word, art work or touch. Commonly psychotherapy involves a therapist and client(s) — and in family therapy several family members or even other members from their social network — who discuss their issues in an effort to discover underlying problems and to find constructive solutions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy combines two very effective concepts - based on cognitive and behavioral perspectives.
Cognitive Interventions highlight that certain thinking patterns can cause various symptoms. For example a person's thought pattern can give a distorted picture of reality in one's life, and possibly making them feel anxious, depressed or angry or provoking a person into making poor choices.
Behavioral Interventions direct a person toward identification and utilization of healthy coping skills, communication, and problem solving techniques. It teaches one how to practice incorporating healthy thoughts and healthy behaviors. It can also help by calming your mind and body, reducing stress resulting in the ability to make healthier choices.
