My career has been focused on working with clients from multiple social, cultural and economic backgrounds. I use my compassion, empathy, passion form helping others, strong interpersonal, problem-solving skills, as well as my good listening and organizational skills to help clients reach goals and have better outcomes. Therapeutic approaches used: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Body-Mind Psychotherapy.
I have experience working with clients with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI). My focus is also on working with clients with some of the following issues/concerns: dual diagnosis, adjustment problems, PTSD, depression, anxiety, family cohesion problems, as well as relationship problems.
As a therapist at Fountain of Wisdom and Hope LLC, we understand that sometimes help is needed to make a change. I want to help take some of your reservations about getting help away because you actually deserve the life you want. After all, this is your one life, and it is not a rehearsal......Dr. V.
