My name is Geoff and I've been working as a therapist for 6 years in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I have been a clinical director and a therapist in an inpatient treatment center for 5 years and working in general outpatient for 3 years. My work tends to specialize in trauma, mood disorders, and substance abuse.
My approach to therapy is person-centered and open-minded, understanding that everyone's story is different and my clients are experts in their lives to help guide the process. My orientation is generally CBT-focused but I have training in IFS, EMDR, ACT, and other modalities.
Our first session will be filled curiosity and respect. I am pretty boisterous and silly and like to include humor as a means of increasing self-empowerment and perspective. In our first session, I will want to gain as much insight into the goals for therapy as possible and ensure that we are being collaborative in our process.
