Welcome to Careful Counseling, a small, community-oriented, holistic psychotherapy practice where we provide comprehensive mental health support tailored to individuals seeking effective and evidence-based solutions to various psychological challenges. At our facility, we serve a diverse range of clients, each with unique backgrounds, experiences, and concerns. Our clients come from all walks of life, encompassing individuals of different ages, genders, cultural backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses. They may be struggling with a multitude of issues, including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma and PTSD, stress management, and sleep disorders. Our approach is client-centered, collaborative, and goal-oriented. Through the application of evidence-based CBT techniques, such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, exposure therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions, we empower our clients to develop practical skills and coping strategies to address their challenges effectively.

I focus primarily on evaluating children, adolescents and adults through Psychological or Psychoeducational Testing. Testing can I help people to discover their intellectual strengths and weaknesses, learning style, emotional triggers and better ways to deal with stress or confusion. In addition to diagnosing things like ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, Depression, Asperger's, Autism, Mood Disorders and Learning Disabilities (something most school systems are unable to do when testing students who are struggling), I can help kids and adults access the services (e.g., therapeutic, educational, vocational and/or pharmacological) that are most likely to improve the quality of their lives.

Bottom line, I believe we are all here to learn all we can during our time here in the Earth school. I seek to serve couples, families and individuals addressing life adjustment issues including relationship conflict, developmental concerns, functional issues related to head or brain injury and efforts to increase self-actualization. I have been practicing as a licensed psychologist for more than thirty-five years; I have provided care and supervised services in mental health and psychiatric hospitals as well as correctional settings and hold specializations in forensic psychology and neuropsychology.
