Hi, I'm Connie Cooper.
Change can happen! If you seek a compassionate counselor who also applies science to the therapeutic process, we may be a fit. I employ collaborative and evidenced-based approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral, Narrative, ACT, Mindfulness, SMART recovery, and DBT techniques to address a variety of life issues. Combining my 20 years of experience with your own self-knowledge, we can improve your mood, unhelpful behaviors, marital issues, or life stage changes.
In addition to private practice, I've worked with corporations, VA, and community mental health. Prior to counseling, I worked for a multinational corporation in sales and marketing. I lead group training in anger management, parenting, assertiveness, DBT skills, and mindfulness. For problem behaviors I endorse SMART recovery among others. I'm a life-long learner and stay current in my field.
If we work together, we will start by identifying your goals and set up a plan to track your progress. We will also work at growing what is already going right! You can feel better and make the changes you want to and I look forward to supporting you with this. Just reading this bio is a start to change...congratulations on taking your first step to feeling better!
