Most of my clients are recovering from traumatic past family dynamics. They want to work on anxiety, depression, PTSD, and healthy self-image. Many say they need to "find their voice." My work with couples focuses on attachment and trust issues, infidelity, and rebuilding empathetic, effective communication. My under-18 clients are normally working through issues surrounding increased autonomy, anxiety, depression, and grief, coping with parental separation and loss.
I work with clients using Positive Psychology and Narrative Therapy approaches. For clients with anxiety and depression, I often use Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy to reframe cognitive distortions. I offer a no-cost 15-minute phone introduction, and an initial consultation via Zoom or in my office is only $25.
Come to Looking Forward Counseling LLC in Rogersville, TN. I practice radical acceptance and radical honesty through the lens of a humanistic, person-centered approach. My practice is LGBTQI+ friendly. I have an additional four counselors in my practice, one of whom accepts insurance coverage, and will help you find the best fit for your therapeutic needs.
