As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) I have worked in various settings such as home health/hospice/bereavement, health department, major universities, medical clinics and V.A. I chose the Social Work profession because while in the foster care system as an adolescent and teenager, a wonderful social worker empowered me to facilitate change and choose the direction of my life at the age of 13. In my practice, I acknowledge that you are the expert of your story so we build on your self-determination and strengths. I believe in holistic approach-focusing on whole person-mental, physical, spiritual, social-all interconnected.

Hi, My name is Loretta Ebison. Thank you for visiting my Psychology Today profile! I look forward to talking with you and helping you come up with a plan that works in your life. Your sessions are all about you. For one hour you are the most important person in the room. Your safety and well-being are the most important things to me, for this reason I am currently seeing patients via teletherapy. I use CBT and Reality Therapy as my Therapeutic Modalities, but also use others as needed. I promise that I will be understanding of your situation and help you feel comfortable decompressing to me.

As a potential client, know that your courage to face personal vulnerabilities and uncertainties is acknowledged from the start. To realize and understand the efforts you've made already affords us early opportunities to consider possibilities in therapy. Your desired outcome is the goal. The process of sharing, reflecting, and adjusting any internal and relational patterns is our therapy means to this end. The clinical approaches perhaps most reflective in therapy are cognitive-behavioral, inter-personal and family systems, and acceptance/commitment. Interventions are based on your child/family, couple, and individual needs.

Women and teenagers struggling with POCD seeking a therapist that would allow them to openly discuss their fears about what they are feeling and thinking. MAPS in search of a therapist that will welcome them with open-mindedness and empathy.

I recognize it can be hard to reach out for help as well as make the time and space for yourself during the everyday craziness of life. We often put everyone else ahead of our own needs and put ourselves last and our needs on hold. Time just seems to fly by and nothing changes. By the time we are looking for a therapist or reaching out for help, we are overwhelmed and need support now. You may feel exhausted and may not even know where to start to make things better.

I get it superwoman; you wear all the hats. Mom hat, wife hat, friend hat, employee hat. All the hats! But this gets exhausting.

This part right here is a nagging thought that stresses you out even more. You don’t even recognize who you are anymore or how you’ve gotten to this place. It’s beyond frustrating. I get it.
