Great to meet you!

My name is Vester L Bradshaw Jr and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. As a therapist, I operate under the premise that I am not an expert in someone's life, but gear the session towards self-discovery and walking along side of people to assist with implementing changes and obtaining goals. Also, my treatment philosophies are “Hope empowers individuals to make effective and needed changes in their lives” and “We are not defined by our past, but how we invest in today, lays the foundation for our future.”

My approach to therapy

I goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental environment where people feel comfortable expressing very vulnerable details about their life. I use modalities such as Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to assist with resolving negative thought patterns and identify skills that could help with improving undesirable symptoms.

What you can expect from me

First session consist of collaborating together to develop treatment goals and objectives by. Also, individuals have space to ask questions to determine fit for treatment.
