Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Hello, I'm Alan Lawrence, licensed clinical social worker (LCS12658). I hold three master's degrees in psychology, social work and gerontology. We age from birth with many challenges and changes as we grow older. A burden shared is a burden lifted. Accomplish your goals and move forward. Learning lessons from the past and understanding your thinking process and internal dialogue (cognitive-behavioral) will empower you with new insights and direction. Let's get started. I customize therapy sessions to the individual's needs. I can be eclectic but do emphasize cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic approaches to treatment. One's thinking process and internal dialogue affect our emotions and behavior. I help individuals identify self-defeating thought patterns and substitute more realistic ways of thinking. I also encourage clients to review their past, learn some insights, and lessons, but focus is on the here-and-now, with active problem-solving and conflict resolution. I work well with adults of all ages. I help clients identify their goals, increase their awareness, and empower themselves with confidence and direction. I help people going through changes, transitions, health problems, stress, career issues, relationships and family.
