For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

We learn and grow as we try new things and gain different perspectives. Therapy is a collaboration where someone helps you address your concerns or goals. If you were content with how things currently are then you likely would not be seeking extra support or guidance. If you are seeking change or healing in your life then taking the step of consulting someone who has experience helping people with those concerns is a practical thing to do. Communicate your wishes and your needs clearly to your counselor to get the most benefit from the therapy experience.

I completely understand that trying therapy can feel intimidating. What I’d love for you to know is that therapy is a collaborative process—you're in control of your healing. It’s a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear. My goal is to help you feel supported, provide new tools and perspectives, and ultimately empower you to manage your mental health in a way that feels right for you. Therapy can be a game changer, offering relief and clarity when you need it most.

I would Send out a clear message to the person that they are not being blamed for their decision and recognize the importance of it to them. Show support by offering time and the willingness to listen to them whenever they feel like talking about their fears, worries and problems so that they can feel validated.

Working at Mt Auburn Hospital in Boston, MA and Dr. Daniel Brown and Associates, I have gained valuable experience and exposure in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. I have practiced attachment pathology which is my PHD research, and the influence of positive psychology in psychotherapy using fundamental clinical evaluations and assessment tools in understanding the dynamics of strengthening relationships. I have also mastered the art of using cognitive, behavioural, and hypnotherapeutic treatments towards anxiety disorders. Thus, my education allowed me to get a broad theoretical and practical foundation of knowledge to hone my analytical, problem solving, and decision-making skills to help patients of all social classes with complex social problems to enrich their personal growth. My practical training and experience have enabled me to develop astute listening skills while showing patience in empathizing with the diverse needs and challenges of my patients.

Going to therapy doesn't have to be a life time commitment. You can try one appointment and decide it is not right for you! Additionally, my approach is to let you guide as the patient. We will not talk about anything you are not comfortable sharing and I let you set the pace!

I am licensed social worker specializing in substance use, trauma and mental wellness. I received my undergraduate degree in psychology and graduate degree in social work at the University of Michigan. I am currently participating in a three-year Somatic Experiencing training through the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute. I also have training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy(ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavioral Therapy (DBT). My treatment approach is interactive, empathetic, eclectic, nonjudgmental, holistic, and strength based. As a therapist, I integrate a multitude of treatment modalities to create an individualized plan to optimize each person’s unique healing process.

Therapy is simply a space for you to show up as you are, without judgment. It’s okay to feel nervous, uncertain, or even skeptical. Many people do at first. You don’t have to share everything right away—we go at your pace. My role is to meet you where you are, help you feel safe, and support you in making sense of what you’re going through. If you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time, you deserve a space where you don’t have to do that anymore. Even taking the first step to reach out is meaningful—and you’re allowed to take it one step at a time. 

I attended University of Baltimore and earned my Master of Science in Applied Psychology in 2014. Over the past 8 years, I have been practicing therapy in a variety of outpatient settings. Currently, I am providing individual therapy for adults with a variety of diagnosis and issues. My treatment is individualized to meet the needs of my clients.

You don't know until you try and there's no "right" way to do therapy. You may not know what to say or how much to say at first and that's OK. Just starting the process can be extremely liberating. 

Hi! I am a Masters-Level Mental Health Counselor and I have been in the mental health field since 2020. Before working in outpatient, I specialized in eating disorders in a clinic setting. I have also became familiar with PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and personality disorders. My treatment model is centered around CBT, DBT, and REBT. This means that I focus on the interaction of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and place emphasis on irrational thought processes. 

It is easy to feel like by going to therapy you are admitting something is wrong. That is not the case, it is a 1 hour that is devoted to you and your self care. It allows us to be able to process stressors, work on trauma or just be heard.

I am a PLPC (Under the supervision of Jenna Wood, MO 2016040359) who didn’t start out in mental health, but after having an amazing experience with a therapist for my own life stressors, I was hooked and went back to school to get a Masters in Mental Health Counseling. I now enjoy working with individuals to help heal wounds of trauma or life stressors. I use many different approaches to meet the unique needs of people I help.

The decision to do so is often not an easy one, as there are many stigmas around mental health. However, it is one that you will be glad you made. So I encourage you to be brave and take the first step to a happier you.
