Counseling theories and techniques

The foundation of my counseling is based on the work done by Carl Rogers.  His client-centered therapy fits perfectly in my belief in empathetic and accepting understanding of the client and their ability within to reach their goals.  

I utilize CBT, cognitive behavior therapy, techniques frequently in the treatment of depression and anxiety as well as other mental health needs.  

Trauma-informed techniques in my toolbox are CPT, cognitive processing theory and EMDR, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.  

Art therapy and play therapy are also effective in reaching unseen depths of insight into our beliefs and experiences.  

As a trained and licensed professional counselor, finding the approaches that best meet the person and their needs does not limit me to techniques and theories discussed above.
