At Stewart Behavioral Health my goal is to meet the client where he/she/they are. I believe in treating the "whole person" and assisting with navigating life's challenges in a safe, empathetic, and understanding space. Challenges and change are an unavoidable part of life and you do not have to do it alone. Where pain resides, there is hope and restoration. I am here to provide support and practical feedback to help clients address life's everyday challenges.
Provide: I incorporate a variety of methodologies & techniques based on individual need. They include but are not limited to: Christian therapy, CBT; Narrative/person centered/Eclectic approaches; Substance Dependence; Career Planning.
Do you need hope, honesty, empathy, understanding? Change is the only thing constant in life; we can embrace it or fight it but it will transpire. You do not have to face life's challenges or change alone. A problem shared is a problem halved. Please do not hesitate, call today to make your appointment. Let me be there for you.

In your first session, we will talk about what brought you into therapy and decide on the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With cognitive behavior therapy, we will look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. During treatment, you will learn how to take control of those "stinking thinking" thoughts and feelings and change them for the better
