Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
I appreciate that you have made a choice to find a therapist with whom you would like to work. It is a crucial step that may have taken a great deal of deliberation. It is no easy feat to work with another in addressing past traumas, suffering, loss, pain, isolation, or the myriad of difficulties and stressors one may incur as a result of the human condition, though forging a story that is uniquely yours to transcend the hardships you have overcome takes tremendous strength and courage. I hope that you consider working with me in pursuing a path that leads towards self actualization, as it is profoundly rewarding and enriching. Growth necessitates change, and is effectively achieved when past beliefs that no longer provide the same safety are addressed. My work uses cognitive behavioral approaches to therapy, as effectively disputing irrational beliefs and cultivating a perspective that is less dogmatic and punishing allows for greater opportunity to focus on your goals. Our work together will include identifying those goals that are collaboratively developed to effectively process through past and present hardships, as well as actualize meaning which you have created or are working to cultivate in your life. As no person is an island, I am glad you have taken this next step in your journey, and I look forward to your call.
