OVERWHELMED! I don’t know how much more of this I can take. I get it. I already think you are pretty awesome to seek assistance. So, let’s get to work. Perhaps you are feeling hopeless from depression, over-the-edge from anxiety, inattentive because of ADHD, quick-to-click from anger, a salad bowl of feelings from grief, substance use that leads to relationship or legal troubles, or memory from trauma. I am a Master’s level, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a National Certified Counselor in Florida. My experience has included working with adults in a private practice setting since September 2015. My approach is to offer clients the support, acceptance, insight, and guidance needed to achieve your desired level of functioning. Treatment approaches used are Somatic Theory, Interpersonal Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Person-Centered, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), and Trauma-Focused CBT. Other Important Information: My observance is that as people are becoming busier and some are having to adjust to new daily routines, scheduling can become a problem. That, and the higher demand for therapist is why I am making this announcement on how to cancel an appointment and on my “no show”/cancellation policy. (This policy does not count if I am the one making the cancellation, and I will not cancel you with out giving you notice, or helping to reschedule you). BetterHelp makes it seem easy to cancel an appointment (or even change counselors) Simply click on Cancel or change therapist. However, this is a gentle reminder for those who may not be aware that it is customary to let your therapist know when you can not make an appointment, (or that you wish to change therapists). Additionally, if something comes up and you do need to cancel it is important to give 24 hours notice; this allows others the possibility of using that appointment time (this is critical now that more people are ready and waiting for appointments). Cancellations within 24 hours of a session are considered “no shows”. You are allowed one no show, after that BetterHelp may charge you for a session. After the second “no show” I will limit sessions to messaging rather than scheduled live appointments. I know this policy can be a challenge, and part of therapy is stretching you. Not all of BetterHelp’s counselors have the same policies, and while I prefer to continue working with all my clients, it is ok if you decide to choose a different therapist. Additionally, I encourage you to message me before changing therapist (for any reason) I can assist you in finding a new therapist. And it is helpful to follow up with you on your experiences with me in therapy.
