Individual Counseling with Adolescents and Adults
Mental health counseling will start with an assessment. This is a time for us both to get to know one another. We will talk about what has been going on in your life, and I will determine if a diagnosis is appropriate. Then we will develop a plan together to determine what your goals are and the best way to reach those goals. Counseling consists primarily of talking things out, but doing so in ways that are known to help. I primarily use a type of counseling called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected, and how we can use those connections to help you feel better. As part of CBT, I often give you things to think about or work on in between our appointments. This helps you get the most out of your time with me, and lets you see quicker results. If you agree, I also use Christian counseling, where we consider how your faith can strengthen you and help you reach your goals.
