My name is Misty East and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been providing therapy to adolescents, families, couples and the geriatric population for over 15 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns. My passion has been working with clients with trauma histories (sexual, physical and emotional). I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, family issues and relationship problems from a strength based and if requested, a Christian based approach.
I challenge my clients in an appropriate manner and believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. My counseling style is warm, interactive, creative and reality based. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral, and mindfulness and rational emotive counseling.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. Because I am creative my clients can expect to be challenged through creative based Homework. They will leave with an increased sense of self worth and esteem, coping skills and knowledge.
