How do you work with clients with depression?

I am a compassionate and dedicated Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern with a strong commitment to supporting individuals on their journey to emotional wellness. With three years of experience in the field, I have worked with diverse populations facing various challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lynn University, where I received specialized training in evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Adlerian Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). My education has equipped me with the necessary skills to provide effective and personalized treatment to my clients. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. My approach to counseling is client-centered and collaborative, meaning that I work closely with my clients to identify their goals and develop tailored treatment plans to help them achieve lasting positive change.

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.

Hey yall. I am Ciera and I love all things mental health. It is truly a blessing to do what I love everyday however I am more than a therapist. I am a woman of substance who has overcome a lot of trial and tribulations and made the choice to own my story and I help others do the same.  I am a lover of sneakers, makeup, and trying new recipes. As a mom of two I understand what it is like to try to understand how to balance, but I also know that it is important to prioritize me everyday so that everyone else around me always gets my best.  

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my BSW in 2014 from Kutztown University and then my MSW in 2019 from Widener University. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have experience working with clients who have depression, mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, trauma and grief/loss, auditory and visual hallucinations, self harm and suicidal ideation. I have worked with various mental health conditions and populations and enjoy working with children, teens and adults. I hope to foster an environment where you can feel safe and open to express your thoughts, feelings and experiences, and work on learning new and healthier ways to express and cope with your emotions and stressors. I believe in starting where you (the client) are and that it is important that we work together as a team while working on the goals that you feel are the most important for you to work on. The modalities I use most often are CBT, DBT and mindfulness approaches and I advocate for self care and learning new and healthier coping skills. I often promote self care practices, as I believe self care is vital for us all. It is often very easy to overlook self care. When we do not take care of ourselves, this can lead to feelings of burn out, anxiety and depression. I also like to teach clients about mindfulness, meditation, breath work, relaxation and coping strategies.I believe whole heartedly that compassion and empathy are vital not only in therapy but essential to being human. I believe that everyone deserves compassion, kindness and forgiveness and I believe it is not only important to give these to others but also to ourselves. I invite you to spend some time today engaging in much needed self care.

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.

As a board certified creative arts therapist & mental health counselor, I am committed to creating a safe, trusting and collaborative environment through a person-centered approach. Based on your goals in therapy, we will work together to utilize psychotherapy, art therapy, or a combination of the two to facilitate growth while restoring emotional and mental health. As each individual's experiences and needs are unique, I take a holistic approach to our work together that draws on trauma informed treatment and attachment theory. My therapeutic experiences with young children through older adults range from anxiety disorders, substance use, family members and children of loved ones who use substances, through major mental illness. ​ Art therapy embraces the creative process and materials as a therapeutic and healing experience, instead of focusing on the product. The utilization of art making as intervention has been especially impactful as a gateway for communication and connection between body and mind and allows us to tap into our subconscious to externalize things we may have difficulty verbalizing. You do not need to have artistic experience but a desire to explore feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior, develop social skills, reduce anxiety and increase self-esteem to practice art therapy.
