Therapeutic Orientation

What to Expect In Therapy

What to Expect In Therapy

 

 The driving philosophy behind my therapy is Existential Psychotherapy, which reflects the belief that we have free choice, and those choices express our deeply held values. This means that I support you in creating the life you want, based on whatever you value most. By increasing awareness of who we are and how we got to this place in our lives, we gain the ability to live intentionally and to better embrace health and wellbeing. I am trained in Trauma Informed Practice (TIP) and will tailor my therapeutic approach to best match your needs.

What to Expect In Therapy

  

We begin with an evaluation of the challenges you face and your goals for therapy. These first few sessions will be about building a relationship and getting to know each other. Through a joint effort, we will establish your length of treatment and therapeutic goals. I believe strongly in your ability to choose your own path, and I will respect your autonomy in any way I can while providing my professional guidance based on what I've learned about you.

Animal Assisted Therapy

often covered by insurance

My co-therapist is Marlowe. He's a young Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Marlowe is like many of us: shy when we first meet new people, but with time and trust he is very silly and loving. He's happy to get rubs, treats, and to lift the mood when you need a smile. 

Certified Therapy Dog

Marlowe obtained his official therapy dog certification on March 23, 2022. Hooray! He is certified with Professional Therapy Dogs of Colorado, and works exclusively with clients at Stronger Mind Counseling. He also likes to visit people in senior living, memory care, rehab, or medical recovery. 

HAVE QUESTIONS?

If you're a new client and you'd like to book a session, please email me. I would be happy to provide a brief, free consultation to explain more about myself and what you can expect from choosing me as your therapist.
