Bonnie Morisette-Hood

Communication is essential to a healthy working relationship. I strive to have a therapeutic environment that is safe, honest, and respectful. Although we will be discussing personal and psychologically intimate information, I will honor those conversations with respect and curtesy

Therapy is a unique process for each individual and success and length of treatment will vary accordingly. We will work together as a team to establish realistic and attainable goals for you to achieve. These goals are flexible and may change as time goes on.

As a clinician, I embrace a strength-based perspective. I also utilize different scientific theory bases based on the needs of the client. These include cognitive-behavioral, solution focused, reality-based, Mindfulness-based and family systems theories. Techniques I use may include dialog, psychoeducation, relaxation, reframing of negative thoughts, positive decision-making, mindfulness, and writing or art exercises.

The client always has control of the session. However, I will emphasize self care and compassion. I will always attempt to have you leave with a sense of your own strengths and at least 1 technique to deal with the most urgent of your issues. I will assign homework to help you as you navigate the road to success.
