How do you work with clients with depression?

I am a licensed trauma therapist and I provide teletherapy to individuals in New York, Texas, and Maryland. My specialty is developing distress tolerance, or making stress feel less overwhelming. I work with clients aged 5-18, 18+ as individuals and/or families. Stress exists as a necessary part of the human experience. For some, this experience has been more dangerous, disruptive, or overwhelming. In our sessions, I’ll provide the opportunity for you to reconnect with a sense of safety to move into a fuller life. I practice from a combination of therapy models. I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as the basis for skill building. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a guide for regulating the nervous system. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) builds a deeper connection to our authentic goals.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 6 years of experience as a practicing therapist. I graduated from Valdosta State University earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I chose to become a Marriage and Family Therapist because of the systemic and relational approach that is used in problem resolution. I believe that problems aren’t just in you or outside of you, but within the relationship in between. To date, I have experience with working with clients within private practice, in-home, and inpatient settings. It’s my goal at Transparent Truth Counseling Services to help clients learn narratives that keep them strained, unlearn unhealthy patterns and behaviors, and relearn narratives or preferred TRUTHS that will better suit their lifestyle. If you experience thoughts like: "I'm not good enough." "I'm not doing enough." "I feel anxious about the unknown." "I feel depressed trying to measure up with expectations." "I should have this by now." I am here to help you live life on your terms by helping you redefine what it means to be "enough." I look forward to unpacking your reality or truth and help co-create a narrative that fits for you!
