I have been a practicing Social Worker for the last 40 years. I have worked in both private practice and Community Mental Health. I recognize that by the time someone seeks counseling they have tried other alternatives and are truly looking for answers, help, and/or direction that they have not been able to get. Therapy/counseling is an important decision and the work should be a positive experience (although it is work) that helps us get to a higher level in our lives. I have worked with CISM debriefing for first responders, been trained in hypnotherapy, Accelerated Resolution of Trauma, Solution Focused and both short and longer term modalities.
I am available to offer my experience and training, to work together to help find answers, resolution and new ways of being in life.
Additional areas of focus: Attachment issues, Communication problems, Control issues, Divorce and separation, First responder issues, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Panic disorder and panic attacks
Clinical approaches: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Louise Bonanno. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Louise is an amazing therapist who has helped me these past few years to really transform my outlook, cope with anxiety and stress, and take control of my life.
