Creating change is difficult and takes effort. A person cannot be happy and content with their relationships with others, without first being happy and content with themselves. By looking at yourself, where you have been, where you are now and how you use what you have been given, whether environmental or biological, you can understand the changes in your behavior that are necessary to function in this world at an optimal level. A level where you feel good about yourself and enjoy healthy, fulfilling relationships.

Life transitions pose challenges to every individual, particularly when the changes occur unexpectedly. I view my role as a supportive guide and strong ally in my clients' life journey. Empathic while also direct, I believe people are often stronger and more resilient than they realize and can benefit greatly from a mirror to reflect back their personal strengths and to challenge errors in their thinking.

Are you tired all the time? Sad most days? Does the littlest thing take so much effort? Maybe you're snapping at loved ones and easy to anger? Are you constantly worried? Do you chew on the same negative thoughts over and over? Feel lost? Empty? Overwhelmed? Alone? Are you struggling to balance work and family and your own needs and feel like you are failing at all of them? Do you self-medicate with substances, food or unhealthy activities? It's time to do something about it! With telehealth it's easier than ever to start therapy!

Life is a balancing act. At times we may find ourselves in need of direction to solve old problems or face new challenges. Therapy is a tool for uncovering our hidden strengths and developing new strategies to create a healthy environment for ourselves and those around us.

I enjoy working with people who want to have a richer and more satisfying life and are willing to take emotional risks in order to be happier. I recognize how easily we can become stuck in old habits of thought and behavior that limit our lives. Therapy is a wonderful process for change. You can expect from me respect, an ability to deeply understand you, and the experience and knowledge to help you change the things in your life that are causing you problems.

Hello! My name is Fikreta, I am a licensed clinical social worker. Throughout my years of experience I've learned that therapy is certainly not a "one-size fits all" approach, and that each individual requires a personalized and unique experience. Therapy may be perceived as "scary" or "nerve wracking," but I like to think of it as cathartic and empowering. I enjoy focusing on strengths and continuously building on those points, while addressing more pressing issues as well. If you are experiencing significant changes, particularly going from high school to college, life after college, these are some of the changes I can help with.

Ideal clients are courageous individuals seeking a more fulfilling life. They face challenges like depression, anxiety, relationships, parenting, career, and substance issues.

My warm, collaborative therapy style, free from stigmatizing labels, fosters a respectful, compassionate environment. Together, we create a tailored plan for their unique needs, emphasizing a therapeutic alliance and a safe space for growth.

Seeking out mental health therapy can feel like an overwhelming first step towards recovery. I understand that this feeling can outweigh all other emotions - except for hope. The hope that this will be the first step towards changing your life - or the life of your child and family - for the better. It is so important for you to find that right therapist who you can connect and feel comfortable with, and who has the experience and the expertise to meet your mental health needs.

If you are seeking help right now, you probably want something in your life to change. You might feel overwhelmed, sad, or anxious, out of balance, lacking in joy or energy, or just plain unhappy. In this fast-paced life where stress has become commonplace and acceptable, it may be time for you to take a "pause" to reflect on your life and re-align with your best self. In a safe, comfortable environment, together we will open the doors of self-awareness and trust, breaking down resistances and building a bridge to living your life with greater joy and ease. The first step is to be willing to take a peek at what's holding you back!

The first two sessions that I meet with clients is all about determing if this is the right match for you in addition to discovering both your strengths as well as your struggles. I am dedicated to helping you find the best therapeutic relationship and approach that works for you. If I am not the right therapist for you, I will assist you in finding that person. It is most important that you feel comfortable with me as your therapist. While I work with many different young adult and adult clients, I have a special focus in first responder populations.
