I know that reaching out for therapy support can be a scary, yet tremendous first step. You don't have to go through the process alone. Together, we'll create a warm, healthy therapeutic relationship. I want to understand from your point of view. I'll also help you to identify things that can be changed within your environments to help resolve conflicts and alleviate feelings of frustration, anger, sadness, stress and anxiety. Although I offer specialized support to clients of color (See the Client Focus section of my profile), my expertise is multicultural counseling, and my clients are from all ethnic backgrounds.

I was struggling to cope with a disability, depression, and anger between the ages 16 to 23. I was in a car accident in 1999 that severely damaged my spinal cord and caused me to rely on the use of a wheelchair for the rest of my life. Building a relationship with God helped me to overcome my disability, depression and anger. It also gave me what I needed to live through my daily struggles. The spiritual exercises that have helped me during my process were prayer, meditation, reading scriptures, faith building, forgiveness, gratitude, and discussing my concerns with Christian counselors.

I view counseling as a partnership between the therapist and the client. My goal is to first work with clients to support them in identifying obstacles in their lives that are keeping them "stuck" or blocking them from experiencing the life they want. These obstacles may be negative thought patterns, maladaptive behaviors, or belief systems that eat away at their sense of self-worth. We then work together to develop new paths over, around, or straight though these blocks.

My name is Dakota and I provide teletherapy in both the states of Georgia and Florida -- Finding our way through life’s journey can become overwhelming at times. We may reach stages where we feel out-of-touch, out-of-place, and out-of-sync. One method of addressing these bumps on our path is recalibrating how we understand ourselves and others. Learning new ways of handling and adapting to all of life’s changes can be revitalizing. I would be excited to be there with you on your path as a co-journeyer and as a provider of objective, researched-based counseling.

Perhaps you have been working through your areas of trauma for some time now, but they seem to keep returning time and time again..., leaving you exhausted, bewildered and feeling stuck. What if some intensive Psychotherapy work could be useful in helping you to break through some of those barriers? Sometimes an hour once or twice per month is just not enough. Indulge yourself in two, three, or five hours of intensive therapy designed especially to address your own deep and complex experiences of concern. Our time together may include Hypnotherapy, EMDR, Art Therapy, Writing, talk therapy and other forms of creative therapies.

Reality Therapy

Is reality therapy evidence-based?

Reality therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapies. However, some research does indicate that reality therapy might be helpful for people with addiction, and may be effective in treating social anxiety in young people.

How long does reality therapy last?

Reality therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Reality therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a year or longer and to see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a client’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of reality therapy long after treatment has ended.

Does reality therapy work?

Reality therapy can help a person manage concerns such as eating disorders, addiction, substance use, anxiety, phobias, and relationship difficulties. This type of therapy encourages a person to be accountable for their behaviors. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure. Reality therapy can be useful in one-on-one therapy or in group sessions. This method may be used with children, families, and adults.

What are the limitations of reality therapy?

This therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the therapist focuses on choices made by the individual in the present day. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over others. This format may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every client.
