Hello, Welcome to the Better Help Community. My name is Antoinette, and I am a licensed professional counselor in Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas, South Dakota, and Virginia. I have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years. I have worked with individuals experiencing a variety of issues including grief and loss, depression, anxiety, marital concerns, women issues, workplace stressors, family conflict, and issues related to military families. I would describe my approach as goal-oriented, and client-centered. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). Both modalities are hands-on, practical approaches to problem-solving. CBT treatment usually involves efforts to change thinking patterns and or behaviors. The goals are to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are behind difficult situations, and so change the way one feels. This helps people identify unhelpful ways of thinking as they learn better ways of coping with life's stressors. It would be my privilege to become a partner in your journey while helping you to figure out your goals. I will provide a supportive and understanding environment that offers a clear direction with specific strategies to assist with your current stressors. I look forward to helping/serving you!

I believe in a goal-oriented approach to therapy by helping clients build on their strengths and values distinct to them. I encourage clients to see themselves as unique, creative, and responsible individuals; capable of striving for self-improvement and self-fulfillment. As a therapist, I see a variety of people, focusing on adults with depression and anxiety and the struggles that come along with those feelings. I am passionate about helping everyone find happiness, direction and fulfillment. I see clients with a holistic approach, emphasizing a trusting, respectful relationship, developing and empowering proactive behaviors, while appreciating their individual qualities. I believe fostering effective change is developed with openness and honesty during our sessions- focusing on individual concerns, questions and frustrations and working from there. I realize sometimes it is difficult asking for help, therefore, believe it shows how much clients understand the importance of making intentional efforts to have good health and happiness in life.

Hi! My name is Julie and I am a licensed doctoral-level psychologist with over 20 years of experience. I have helped folks with a wide variety of mental health challenges--from workplace stress and relationship issues to depression, anxiety, and PTSD. However, my approach does not simply address mental health symptoms. I believe that transformation comes when we decide to step out of a victim mindset and fully embrace our power to create the life we desire. I have experience working with most mental health conditions and in the past five years, I've expanded my approach to include more holistic, soul-centered methods. This allows the people who work with me to explore wellbeing and success from all angles--emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual. Whether you're seeking peace in relationships, sexuality, or redefining your health, I am happy to assist you in turning challenges into stepping stones. I particularly enjoy working with people who are motivated to become the next best version of themselves. Life is not about what happens to us, right? It's about we rise to meet it. If you're ready to leave the victim role behind and claim your role as creator of your own story, let's begin our work together! My primary treatment modality is a short-term model and includes techniques such as existential, mindfulness-based, clinical hypnosis, CBT, DBT, interpersonal, and emotion-focused modalities. People tend to describe my therapy style as empathetic, direct, compassionate, and straightforward. I am excited to begin working with you and will happily answer any questions!
