I am Page Harper, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I have been helping clients learn about themselves and find root causes to the challenges in their lives for over 15 years. I have worked with clients of all ages and in various settings from private practice, psychiatric hospital, inpatient substance abuse programs and homeless shelters. I am skilled in individual, couples and family counseling.
I have a more casual, down to earth approach to therapy. I want to create a space where the client feels comfortable being vulnerable and transparent so they can get the help they need. I am an eclectic therapist and pull tools from various theories. Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family/Marital Therapy, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Christian Counseling, and Family Systems.
In the first session we will discuss the current issues that brought them to therapy, their background information/history, any past traumas/losses, past mental health or medical diagnosis, current medications prescribed, and set their therapy goals. To finish up the session I would share with them what to expect in the therapy process, how to contact me, what to do in an emergency and how to schedule their next session. I typically assign homework, because I find this improves the effectiveness of therapy.
