Therapists in Grain Valley, MO

I have been in practice for 30 years as a clinical psychologist. I provide a safe and supportive environment for my clients. I use mindfulness techniques for therapy in addition to a compassionate presence. These approaches include mindfulness to resolving situational depression, teaching clients to overcome overwhelming emotional situations, relaxation techniques to quiet your mind and body, and therapy to assist each client to function each day with calmness and clarity. I am a very proactive therapist, allowing individuals to explore their own thoughts, feelings, behavior patterns, and develop an action plan that best suits their personal growth.

Soy competente en español, pero lo siento, no estoy ofreciendo servicios de terapia en español en este momento. Puedo comunicarme un poco con las familias de los clientes cuando es necesario o útil, y tengo mucha experiencia trabajando con personas y familias latinas.

Trabajo con personas que han experimentado una pérdida en su vida y necesitan orientación y apoyo mientras atraviesan su viaje de duelo. En una sociedad que nos dice cómo "se supone" que debemos sentir el duelo o qué es lo que realmente se considera una pérdida, puede resultar un desafío saber cómo dar los primeros pasos hacia adelante. Mis clientes son personas que están tratando de encontrarle sentido a su pérdida, trabajando para aceptarla, preparándose para una pérdida significativa y en cualquier punto intermedio en el que alguien se encuentre en su viaje a través del duelo.

Me gusta ayudar a los que buscan ayuda y soluciones a sus problemas. Empecé a trabajar para aquellos con problemas de relación y adicciones sexuales. He trabajado con mujeres y niños que se ocupan de diversas situaciones relacionadas con el trauma.
