Hello! My name is Budy (pronounced Beauty) . I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 16 years of experience working as therapist, Director and life coach. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, parenting problems, and navigating the child welfare system. I am experienced in treating physical trauma, emotional and sexual abuse. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I consider the client/therapist relationship to be the most important thing in counseling. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity & compassion.
I have been providing therapy in many different treatment areas such as private practice, non-profit, residential treatment center and family foster care. I have experience in trauma, critical incident response and debrief, dually-diagnosed clients, child sexual abuse and mentally illness. I use many approaches such as CBT, TF-CBT, and Solution Focused.
I find myself using a client-centered practice approach to my work with adolescents and adults. My hopes with all my clients are that they feel they are able to address their needs and leave with the tools and resources to overcome future concerns.
