How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

I am Taja-Nia, an adolescent and young adult therapist who helps clients control their behavioral response to difficult emotions, adjust to change, and live a life that makes them proud. My work with youth in various fields helped me discover my passion for Black and brown youth in underserved communities. These experiences led to the pursuit of my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Bradley University, and my work in clinical settings. As a program specialist in a major inpatient psychiatric hospital and crisis line volunteer, I have helped clients in crisis regulate their emotions and develop lifestyle changes to promote overall wellness. This was done by working with them to identify triggers, exploring coping skills, and plan for next steps. I believe therapy is a collaborative process between the client and the counselor, with the client being the expert of their own life. As such, I create a safe space and act as a guide, assisting the client as they explore past and current issues, unhealthy patterns, and identify overall goals. I utilize evidence-based strategies and techniques from an integrated cognitive-behavioral, individual psychology approach. Additionally, I incorporate aspects of mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. Human behavior is learned and developed within social contexts. Each individual presents with unique views based on their developmental age, socioeconomic status, gender identity, familial background, and culture. Taking all of this into consideration, I meet clients where they are mentally and emotionally. Treatment is tailored to meet clients’ individual needs. I have experience with youth and young adults who present with anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, suicidal ideations and self-injurious behavior, as well as disruptive behavior, life transitions, and trauma. I work with clients between the ages of 11 and 30 to effectively address problematic areas and identify mutually agreed upon goals. Psychoeducation is provided to increase understanding which assists in that goal setting and optimal client functioning. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to promote client insight, challenge faulty thinking, encourage behavioral change, and empower clients to take control over their lives in ways that lead to mental, physical, and emotional wellness.

Throughout my experience working as a Social Service Provider, I have developed a drive for providing therapeutic services to a variety of clientele. I specialize in helping individuals to increase their independence and autonomy by utilizing strength based, and motivational methods. My experience of working in community mental health has helped to mold me into a compassionate and active listener dedicated to working tirelessly to enhance the well-being of individuals, families, and communities. I have had the privilege to build upon my foundation of social work and pursue a Masters degree in Social Work at Campbellsville University, and later obtained my Social Work Licensure. Since earning my LSW, I have been able to provide therapeutic interventions to clients using a solution-focused and cognitive approach. The primary goal of my clinical service is to enrich the welfare of individuals daily, while promoting holistic health and wellness. With my extensive history in providing mental health services, and implementing clinical devices to augment the human experience, I am confident that I can be a contribution to your journey of achieving mental wealth and wholeness.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, Gottman couples intimacy/sexual intimacy, childhood hurts, codependency, women's issues, and parenting support. I am passionate about helping clients adjust to each life transition, resolve losses, deepen relationships and integrate mind, body and spirit to live wholeheartedly.

I work with clients (primarily Social Workers) who are experiencing compassion fatigue. During our sessions we will create a concrete plan on how to limit compassion fatigue. I am also available to work through vicarious trauma that you experience in your professional career. I know just how difficult it is to find a therapist who truly understands what you do and how it impacts you!

Hi, I am Dominique (Dom) Proctor. I am a licensed social worker and have experience providing therapeutic services to children, teens, and adults. I offer both individual and couples counseling. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Ohio University in 2020m and worked as a case manager and bachelor’s level therapist. I then attended Indiana Wesleyan University, where I earned my Master of Social Work. Man has been avoiding the consequences of our choices since the beginning. Human beings attempted to cover up their own mistakes and faults by human effort alone. Whether it is AA meetings, self-help programs, or other means of recovery, most of these programs only touch one aspect of a person. A person is made up of mind, body, and soul. Therefore, we need healing for all three elements of a person, not just one. I enjoy working with people to help heal these facets and make progress toward recovery. When helping individuals with their therapeutic goals, I pull from several different modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I also offer Christian counseling services to those seeking the incorporation of their faith into treatment. I enjoy helping those who have been hurt by the church. I work as an inpatient therapist at SUN Behavioral in Columbus, Ohio, and as an outpatient therapist. In addition, I am part of the NACSW ( North American Association of Christians in Social Work) and the BLEXIT movement.

My name is Liz Sherman. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, in the northern part of Metro-Denver. In my practice I work with couples, families, and individuals living with substance use disorders, anxiety, and relational issues. If you want a committed and compassionate therapist who is dedicated to helping you meet your goals, I can help you. I offer clients direct and caring insight to help them achieve their goals. I approach our time together with compassion, support, empathy and sometimes humor. I believe therapy works best when we have a relationship based in trust and understanding. During our time together you expect a supportive environment where we can collaborate together to achieve your goals for the future.

I am a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse with 17 years of nursing experience

I'm Keeley. I'm a native New Yorker and I've been in practice for about 14+ years. I'm an animal lover, swimmer, wannabe gardener, and mama to the most beautiful little boy, who happens to be on the Autism spectrum. There's pressure these days to reveal one's ethnic identity- I would describe my identity as multicultural that vacillates and varies. I take pride in working with adults of all backgrounds. I've seen the toll that increased success and money can take on a person's relationships with others and with themselves. You may feel socially isolated, misunderstood by family and friends from your past, perhaps even guilt or shame for doing so well while at the same time feeling that your accomplishments aren't enough. I work with high-achievers and (often) new HNW (high net worth) individuals to gain acceptance of their successes and finally feel at peace. I help them gain an understanding of their self-esteem; explore & implement boundaries with others, themselves, work, money; overcome loneliness; reduce stressors that affect their decision-making & financial well-being; and normalize their new power & social status, especially if they are a woman. Therapy is a safe place to confide. I usually describe my therapeutic/coaching style as big sisterish. I'm try to bring in humor but not without transparency. I was trained in a psychodynamic orientation, but like to include elements of other types of therapies.  I like therapy sessions to be both reflective and action-oriented. I've been in this field for about 14 years and have worked with many people just like yourself, in addition to knowing first-hand just what you are going through. You probably have plenty of questions, so please reach out to set up your consultation.
