Hi, I'm Lavina. I'm a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist. I believe life's experiences (anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, loss of job, debt, insecurities, grief etc) although they can be damaging, are not meant to destroy you, but to produce strength, wisdom, and perseverance,
As a therapist, I take the time to listen to and get to know my client so that I can pair them with the right therapeutic approach. For example, one client may want to dig deep through the psychodynamic approach to identify root causes from their upbringing that contributes their issues. On the other hand, another client may want a solution focused approach that helps them identify the courses of action needed to move on with life in a healthy way. Therapy is not a one size fits all journey.
Life application. Yes, I will hear you and help you, but you must apply what you learned in therapy in your real life.
