During counseling my focus is on helping clients fill a personalized tool box with coping skills and personal insight to better function in life regardless of the issue.
Some examples of Skill Building Areas of Focus are:
- Lifestyle Change and Symptom Management
- Emotional Understanding, Calming & Self Regulation
- Meditation/Mindfulness/Mind-Body Connection
- Effective Relational Communication Skill Development
- Executive Functioning Skills
- Decoding perfectionism, self-esteem, social anxiety and personal values.
- Examining attachment style and related behaviors
- Exposing repeated patterns of behavior, triggers and subsequent Fight/Flight/Freeze/Fawn Response
- Psycho-education on neuroscience, patterns of behavior, acceptance, coping skills, social strategies and identifying personal strengths and growing edges.
