I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I can help you build skills to effectively manage expected (or unexpected) stressors in life. Distressing events can even influence the way we see ourselves and others, keeping us stuck in past patterns and distress. This often requires specific interventions to provide some relief. I'm here to help you build skills to navigate what life throws at you.
My preference is CBT or MI, giving a nonjudgmental workspace to move through rather than around thoughts, feelings, and situations. For trauma work, there a few methods that we discuss and choose depending on needs: EMDR, CPT and NET. Each trauma intervention is quite different in method but the ultimate goal is the same: post traumatic growth.
For anxiety and depression, I would work with you for 8-12 sessions using motivational interviewing then cognitive behavioral therapy. If distressing life events or unresolved traumas are the primary concern we will include trauma therapy (EMDR, CPT or NET). This process is collaborative. Most patients experience some initial relief after 3-4 weeks and steady improvement after.
