Kevin Padden

I have been practicing for almost 15 years. I work under the assumption that all people have the ability to facilitate the change they want to see in their lives and I have worked with many people who get so bogged down by stress, sadness, trauma that they can't assess themselves or identify their goals clearly. I believe that the therapeutic alliance and relationship between the therapist and client is crucial.

I use an integrated approach incorporating several modalities including Solution-Focused, CBT, Mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches (TF-CBT, EMDR).

We will talk about your goals. I will listen, make suggestions, give homework and expect clients to use their insights outside of the session. I may choose to use Outcome Rating Scales to measure progress (the client's and mine as the client's therapist).
