Overview
I have 35 years experience as a mental health professional with a PhD, LCSW, and CASAC, certified alcoholism and substance abuse counselor. In my 35 years as a clinician, supervisor, administrator and professor, I have determined that a quality assessment for both the consumer and clinician is necessary to determine what educational level, developmental and cognitive level the client is functioning at. This helps both parties to determine where to start in therapy to help the client become comfortable. I have worked with many experts in the field to assist me in learning many different modalities. I use the appropriate modalities with the client to assist them in obtaining their goals to help improve overall quality of life while stabilizing symptoms that have caused maladaptive functioning. We work on helping the client identify symptoms through identifying maladaptive conscious and unconscious thoughts, feelings and behaviors to help them reframe ways to move forward in their life through using different psychotherapy techniques.
Sessions are available in person at partner facilities and via secure telehealth, so care fits the realities of each patient's day.
