I am a cheerful, enthusiastic, and compassionate psychotherapist with twenty years of experience in clinical services. My experience in mental health, substance abuse, and medical social work in hospitals, Jail, and substance abuse inpatient facilities. With the past thirteen years focusing on integrative behavioral health diagnosis and short term treatment.
My approach consist in implement Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(ACT). ACT is a model of psychotherapy that focuses on developing psychological flexibility and meaningful behavior change. It's based on the idea that psychological flexibility is the ability to be more present and behave in ways that align with your values. I also utilize CBT, and REBT.
I build the therapeutic relationship based in trust and commitment. This is as important as the treatment method itself in helping my patients to improve. I also form the therapeutic alliance with my patients by being empathetic and collecting feedback from them.
