I utilize different approaches; Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, art intervention, solution-focused and strength-based therapies, and meditation.
Each one of us is unique and can heal, grow, and transform through therapy having unconditional support, and empathy without judgment. You may be suffering from childhood trauma impacting your adult life, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, insomnia, acculturation stress, and/or experiencing marital or career problems. You feel hopelessness, pain, anger, and loneliness. You would like to recover from the dark place, have hope, joy, peace, improve sleep. Through collaboration, exploration, and processing, it is possible to increase self-awareness, self-esteem, and love, and gain skills to promote self-healing.

My name is Charita Selden, and my primary focus when providing counseling services is to help a client become the best version of themselves, through person-centered services. I have found that there are many times when my clients are seeking services for the first time in their lives and there's often a bit of reticence. I am quite familiar with this feeling, as I too have sought counseling in the past. This is why I work first to establish a rapport with all of my clients, find out what it is they want to accomplish and collaborate with them to develop an achievable treatment plan.

"Enlightenment consists not merely in the seeing of luminous shapes and visions, but in making the darkness visible." (Carl Jung) Effective therapy is a dedicated collaborative partnership between an individual and therapist. Helpful therapists empower individuals to access their own inner emotional and spiritual wisdom, courage, strength and innate capacity for healing. It is the therapist's responsibility to offer insight and guidance so that one can grow to stand in their truth and set a clear course for change. Often this process must go deep to resolve hidden pain that has resurfaced in the form of symptoms.

Intervention Therapists

How does an intervention work?

An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.

How effective are interventions?

There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.

What are the limitations of interventions?

While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.

Are there alternatives to interventions?

Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
