Mental health and alcoholism/addiction can be hard topics to discuss and treat. They often are accompanied by a stigma that can leave people/families feeling hopeless, embarrassed, or ashamed. As a clinician I can help provide a nonjudgmental, safe space to discuss any mental health/substance abuse problems. My role as a counselor allows both myself and the client to come up with effective solutions that can assist with the treatment of any reoccurring mental health/substance abuse disorders. I use
cognitive
behavioral therapy with a person centered approach.

Life is challenging, complex, and often stressful. Making the decision to seek help with life's challenges may seem over-whelming. People seek professional help for many reasons; to help sort things out; to receive support; to get through a difficult period; to learn new ways of coping; to strengthen personal and professional relationships; and to get relief. Regardless of the reason, I will make every effort to make this a smooth and comfortable process. I am a seasoned therapist with 30 years of experience. If you are ready for growth and are committed to living a healthier and happier life; therapy can change you.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario (catastrophizing) or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
