Stefan Dabkowski

The process of therapy is all about change and fulfilling one’s ultimate potential and purpose. My role as a counselor is to assist in the process of self-change and personal growth. Change can be scary and uncomfortable but is a natural part of the human experience and something that I attempt to make more comfortable in my counseling practice. Through my almost 10 years of Clinical practice I have been able to work on addressing anxiety, depression, addiction or other concerns for my clients.

I am extensively trained in motivational interviewing and have vast experience utilizing CBT, DBT and REBT to address a wide variety of presenting concerns. I also utilize existential therapy techniques to assist individuals further with understanding their being in the world and how this may affect their presenting problems.

When addressing concerns in counseling I found it helpful with encouraging clients to set realistic and obtainable goals to assist with the process of change and fulfillment. Working toward reduction in frequency and intensity of symptoms to be able to live a more fulfilling life is helpful with the clients I work with.
