Your Guide to Therapy with The Listening Therapist
As The Listening Therapist, I take a person-centered approach to therapy, which means I meet you where you're at and focus on your unique needs. I use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Reality Therapy, and Positive Psychology. These approaches allow me to tailor our sessions to help you address emotional and behavioral challenges, such as anxiety, anger management, addiction, or trauma.
Walk and Talk Therapy is an alternative to traditional talk therapy where we meet outdoors and walk while having our session. This approach combines the therapeutic benefits of movement with the calming influence of nature. It’s ideal for individuals who find sitting in a traditional office setting uncomfortable or want to combine physical activity with therapy. Walking helps reduce stress and anxiety, allowing for more open and comfortable conversations.
Yes! I specialize in anger management and work with clients to understand the root causes of their anger, learn how to regulate their emotions, and develop healthier ways of responding. Through techniques from CBT, DBT, and other modalities, we’ll work together to address the thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and create lasting change.
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision, and I believe that finding the right fit is key to your success in therapy. I encourage you to explore my website, read about my therapeutic approaches, and consider the services I offer, such as Walk and Talk Therapy. If you value a warm, compassionate, and flexible approach to therapy, we may be a great match. If you’re unsure, I offer an initial consultation to help you determine if we’re the right fit.
Therapy can help you manage anxiety, addiction, and stress by providing you with tools to understand and address the root causes of these challenges. For example, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help you identify negative thought patterns that fuel anxiety, while DBT skills can assist in emotion regulation. We’ll work together to break down barriers, build new coping strategies, and support your long-term emotional health.
Therapy sessions are an investment in your well-being, and I strive to make the payment process as simple as possible. I accept E-Transfer and cash as payment methods. Additionally, many insurance plans cover therapy services, so it's a good idea to check with your provider to see if you're eligible for reimbursement. If you have questions about pricing or insurance coverage, feel free to reach out and I can provide more details.
You’ll begin to notice changes in how you think, feel, and behave as you engage in therapy. You might feel more in control of your emotions, experience less anxiety or anger, or notice improvements in relationships. In our sessions, we’ll track your progress, set clear goals, and work together to make adjustments as needed to ensure your therapy is effective.
During your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other and understanding your reasons for seeking therapy. I’ll ask you about your concerns, past experiences, and goals for therapy. We’ll also discuss your preferences for how you’d like to approach therapy, including whether traditional in-office sessions or Walk and Talk Therapy might be more comfortable for you. This is a collaborative process, and we’ll set the stage for a treatment plan that feels right for you.
The duration of therapy depends on your individual needs and goals. Some clients see significant improvement in just a few sessions, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy. We’ll regularly check in on your progress and adjust the pace of therapy to ensure it aligns with your goals and well-being.
Yes. All therapy sessions are strictly confidential. I follow ethical guidelines and legal requirements to ensure your privacy and the confidentiality of your personal information. The only exceptions are in cases where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, which would be discussed with you in advance.
