Hello! I am the founder and owner of Compassionate Holistic Counseling, LLC. I am passionate about treating the whole person with respect and honor. This means being empathetic, compassionate, encouraging, validating and accepting of each individual I come in contact with. One of my biggest joys is working with children 7+ and adolescents. I treat anxiety, depression, trauma (physical/sexual, emotional and/or medical), behavioral issues, grief, stress, the effects of divorce/separation, and school related issues. I help build coping strategies, self esteem, social competence and resilience.

I strive to use interventions that meet the specific needs of my clients in a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental way. I often use a cognitive-behavioral approach (CBT) in psychotherapy as I help my clients adjust and overcome maladaptive thinking patterns and behaviors. I also utilize dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and other therapeutic modalities as a way of teaching clients important coping techniques to manage their stress and navigate their challenges. My goal is to help my clients learning healthy ways of living and a positive mindset to overcome challenges.

Hello! I am delighted to introduce myself to you. My name is Li Drummond. I have worked with many different presenting issues including adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, suicide risk, stress, loss, trauma, struggles with drugs and alcohol, family problems, child welfare, family problems, offenders, and relationship difficulties. I feel comfortable working with clients ranging in age from children to adults and feel especially well-equipped to work with clients facing discrimination and marginalization including members of various immigrant communities, LGBTQIA+ clientele, black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC).

I understand that the risk and vulnerability involved in therapy can make it an intimidating process, a stress added on to whatever is already going on in a person’s life. People can feel like opening up to another person will make them lose control of whatever security they have created for themselves. I try to use simple, direct language to speak with people about their problems and experiences. Talk therapy gives us the chance to gently address these concerns while developing the kind of relationship that leads to growth.

Are you anxious about events happening in your life. Do you feel you lack control, if there is such a thing? Are you troubled by past events that seem to disrupt your present moment experiences or even your relationships with others? Are you overworked, stressed out, or simply can not find or make any peace in your living? Do certain thoughts take up too much mental space or repeat too often to be able to focus on your current or next moment. Are you simply worried about the future? If any of this sounds like you then I am here to help.

Our significant relationships and life history have shaped our individual beliefs and behaviors. Often times those beliefs and behaviors prove to be limiting and may keep us stuck. At times, we find ourselves anxious or depressed, stressed in our relationships and out of balance. By increasing awareness and healthy living skills, counseling offers an opportunity to change your circumstances and/or your response to them.

Our mission is to help individuals improve their emotions, thoughts, and physical state to grow in a safe, positive direction while improving lifestyle and relationships. This is accomplished through working together with other family members and medical providers if necessary. We believe in customizing types of therapy and techniques according to individual unique life circumstances. Most importantly, we respect the belief that each person is empowered and has the ability to heal or find the way to happiness. Our role is to assist you in finding your "best" self. Thus, the saying "Consider Yourself!"
