Veterans Therapists in 40217

Difficult life experiences are something that we as humans all go through as we progress in life. Depression, severe stress, life transitions, career struggles, relational issues, divorce, domestic abuse, grief/loss and trauma are just a few of life's blows that come at us on a daily basis. If you feel like managing these life situations alone is too daunting, consider seeking therapy services. I offer individual and family therapy services to adults. I have experience working with military families, providing school based therapy services, domestic violence counseling and bereavement counseling.

If you're seeking therapy it is because you are in a part of your life that is giving you some trouble. Life has its ups and downs, but there are times for each of us when we need to reach out and get increased support! If you're feeling ready to look at things from a different perspective and create some meaningful change, I'm here and ready to help!

I believe treatment should be navigated delicately and without judgement. We are more than our current situation, which is why I work to understand what it took to get you where you are today, including your strengths. I take a holistic approach to healing, while also utilizing evidence-based methods such as EMDR, art therapy, ketamine-assisted therapy, and various talk therapy modalities, helping you process and tap into feelings that you may have struggled to find or articulate. Sometimes our human experience can affect us in ways we wish it didn’t, and I'd like to help you improve in areas that need most attention.

If you've felt weighed down, stuck, empty, suffering, low energy, locked in a pattern, unsure of yourself, without meaning, or alone then the chances are you're searching for a new way of being. We've all been feeling some form of these at some point, or many points in our lives. Odds are, it all makes sense as to why. If you've suffered from some form of trauma like many of us have, you'll be relieved to know that there are ways to understand these unconscious patterns in your life that honor your journey and bring out your awareness of your truest strengths and brilliance where you'll be empowered as you heal and grow.

Healing work begins by providing a safe, non-judgmental space. As a collaborative relationship between client and therapist, effective treatment outcomes center on the client's sense of self-efficacy. My clinical approach and techniques include trauma-informed care, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. These methods and techniques provide a unique and innovative delivery for behavioral health care.

Seeking clarity? Therapy can allow you to identify and remove blocks inhibiting change, help you make more intentional choices by offering deeper awareness of your perspective, and/or help you construct coherency or a different view of issues that are plaguing you. While I enjoy working with clients of varying backgrounds and ages (and all are welcome in my practice), I specialize in working with those who are suffering from anxiety, trauma, complex trauma, sex- and sexuality-related concerns, and who are aged 15+. You can expect me to be observant, empathic, professional, ethical, responsive, and LGBTQ+ affirming.

Renew Counseling Services was established in 2014, and quickly grew to become a group practice with more than 30 therapists. Our therapists are not only trained in several therapeutic models but also come from different backgrounds and life experiences. ​ The practice was created with the belief that all people can make great strides towards personal growth when ready for change. We know trauma plays an important role in the difficulties many face. We are a practice of therapists trained extensively in EMDR, Expressive Therapy, Family Therapy, DBT and CBT. We have many years of experience, knowledge and practice.

In this rapidly changing world, stress, anxiety, and depression will sometimes take hold of your mind. This could leave you feeling on the edge of an emotional cliff. At these times it is okay, and important to reach out for a hand up. My early training in chemical dependency, hospice, and trauma counseling has equipped me to guide you through the reduction of many life problems.

Every now and then life has a way of hitting us hard. I believe that when individuals enter counseling they are feeling gridlocked in their current situation and need assistance navigating their way out of the storms. I see counseling as a process by which I guide my client in exploration and identification of their needs. Through cognitive and somatic techniques I help raise clients' awareness of ineffective behaviors, toxic cycles, and distorted thinking patterns that may be standing in the way of the changes they desire in life. I believe that transformation begins when we slow down, tune into our bodies, and honor what comes up.

Arriving at my office you will be greeted with welcome and acceptance by an experienced professional of 25 years. In working with people of all ages in all settings I have learned that being kind and direct, while creating a balance of humor and seriousness, are key to gain a wider and wiser self-view. We will use this eclectic style to reach your goals. Clients say they feel comfortable with me quickly. That’s good because it’s proven that a safe place and a feeling of unconditional positive regard are necessary for therapy to work; a mindset I would dare call Love. Often, magically, and proven by research, it's all that's needed.
