Through my years of experience, I have worked with hundreds of clients from all walks of life. This has provided me with a deep insight and a practical view of contemporary issues and has allowed me to develop a unique combination of interpersonal psychoanalysis, mind-body stimulation, cognitive behavioral techniques, and the ability to diagnose and treat clients in a detailed manner. My work with Murphy CDT, further allows a client to be their authentic selves in session. I am known to be approachable, genuine, and have a welcoming "take your shoes off and relax" view to therapy.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and have completed training toward the Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider (CMHIMP) certification. I work with a variety of issues, though I specialize in anxiety, adjustment issues, depression, empowerment, life transitions, identity concerns, trauma, & self-esteem.
The therapeutic environment should be a place where people feel safe, and I strive to provide that for each of my clients. I am available for both in-person and telehealth sessions. Murphy, the Certified Therapy Dog, is also available for in-person sessions too! Please feel free to contact me or request an appointment through our website at www.moxienova.com
