Great to meet you!

Hi there, my name is Fred and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience specializing in stress management, men's issues, bipolar disorder and depression. I provide individual and group counseling and psychotherapy to treat mental, behavioral, and emotional disorders.

My approach to therapy

My work is client centered, trauma focused and helps you develop strategies to change behaviors. I am here to help you identify your inner strengths and resources to achieve your goals. My primary intervention methods are CBT, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness Meditation. My approach involves you writing and/or telling your story, past, present and future. Together we both develop a treatment plan, and identify interventions based on your past and present difficulties. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

What you can expect from me

You can expect me to welcome you, as you are, without judgment, ready to listen to you tell your story. As you tell your story I will help you understand what your difficulties are, and introduce you to new interventions from which you will learn new coping skills.
