Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
My name is Menzo Faassen. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Virginia, Tennessee, and New Mexico. I am eclectic in my approach to therapy including techniques from Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, Reality, and Motivational Interviewing just to name a few. My primary focus is what you want to get out of the therapy process. With most clients, I like to incorporate some techniques from Psychodrama. Psychodrama was developed by J.L. Moreno and is sometimes referred to as Shakespearean Psychology. Some of the techniques I will use include doubling (where I help you speak your unspoken truth), role play, and empty chair. If this isn't comfortable for you, don't worry, I can help you get more comfortable and/or utilize other techniques. I have been told that I am a very easy person to talk to. I seek to create an atmosphere where you are not judged, where you are able to trust me, and where you feel safe so that you can work on what brings you into therapy.
