What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

A typical session lasts about 45 minutes and within that session, you will have the opportunity to have either talk therapy, somatic EMDR therapy or sandtray therapy.

Hello, my name is Dormetra and I am an LPC in Houston, Texas. I am excited to have the opportunity to work with you and assist with your needs. I see children, adolescents, individuals, couples and families. I am also a certified sandtray therapist and I look forward to working with you.

Honestly, there is always something I'm curious about or wanting to discuss, but I let you guide the conversation.It is absolutely okay if you are jumping around topics each week; That is normal when you realize how many areas of your life you want to process. I will help guide those conversations and find common threads in each topic, because there usually is!

Hello! I'm Lucy Romo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing remote counseling services to residents of California, Nevada, and Texas. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from California State University, Long Beach, and hold clinical licenses in CA, NV, and TX. 

I like to start by hearing about your week, your life events, your stressors but also your positives. I truly believe in a strength based therapy and while we will talk about what is bothering you; its essential to also talk about what is going well. In some sessions, we may set goals or tasks for you to work on during the week, its important that I follow up to see how that task or goal felt and what worked and didn't. Each session is also about having you leave with a plan to implement to change what you did not like about the previous week as well as space to feel, process, and share your experience.

Following her internship, Dr. Sheets completed formal post-doctoral training at Northwestern University where she further developed expertise in short-term therapy, mindfullness, ACT/CBT, and narrative therapy.

We will spend some time getting to know each other at the initial session. I will ask questions to help me understand your life situation, mental health concerns and therapy goals. We will make a plan of what treatment goals you would like to focus on first and what steps we will take to accomplish them.

I'm a clinical social worker with 10 years of experience. I have a upbeat, creative, warm and non-judgmental personality which clients report make it easy and natural to open up to me.

I help clients become more self-aware, improve self regulation and coping skills, heal from previous stressful/traumatic experiences, enhance their communication skills, and understand their emotions at a deeper level. I see clients across the lifespan and provide counseling to children, adolescents and adults. I use traditional counseling techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing and solution-focused therapy, as well as complementary therapy approaches such as mindfulness and meditation to help clients work towards greater happiness. Please reach out to me via email, phone call or text if you are interested in becoming a new client. I respond to texts and e-mails within 24 hours. Once we connect, I will set up the 15 minute phone consultation to discuss my availability, answer questions, and help you determine if working with me is a good fit for you and your goals.

The first session with me (or two or three, depending) is largely for the purpose of getting to know each other. I may ask you to take a personality assessment (the Enneagram) and to share with me your perceived challenges--and your perceived strengths, too. From that point, I work intuitively, with the intention of meeting you where you are and working with whatever therapeutic material arises. I'm comfortable with silence, witnessing, holding space and also offering my observations and thoughts about different ways of looking at things.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and work with couples and individuals on improving their relationships and quality of life, and therapists on managing a number of experiences that come up through their work.

It is common for new clients to wonder what the counseling process is like. I would like to share with you what to expect from our relationship so that you are comfortable with what we will be doing. Mostly, you will be sharing your story with me and I will be listening. I may ask questions about how you are feeling or what you are thinking to help uncover the root causes and stuck emotions that are causing you distress. Sharing your story with a stranger is sometimes hard but sometimes easier than sharing it with someone with whom you have history. Often, during therapy you will recall unpleasant events and struggle with difficult issues. This may cause feelings of discomfort or distress. My role as your counselor is to become your ally on this therapeutic journey and to provide a safe space where you can talk and be yourself without fear of judgment. We will identify and emphasize those strengths that you have used to cope successfully with the challenges you have already faced. These strengths will help us build resilience and positive outcomes in our counseling work and will be the foundation of a hopeful and bright future for you when we complete our work. I promise to be honest with you and support you as you explore who you are and become accepting of yourself. I will work to earn your trust and help you feel comfortable talking to me about yourself. During this process, you will tell me what you would like to see as a result of counseling and how you would like to feel when we are finished. Together we will set goals about what we want to accomplish and how we will work to reach these goals.
