20 years offering treatment

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 15 years experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I earned a Masters Degree in Psychology from Florida A&M University in 1986, and I have been working in the mental health field since that time. I have extensive experience working with those struggling with such issues as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting issues, LGBTQ issues, marital problems, and stress related disorders. I believe in meeting each individual wherever they are in life, and helping them work through issues they are struggling with through a non-judgmental, professional approach towards self-awareness and personal growth. I believe that a Cognitive-Behavioral approach to therapy helps clients achieve this goal. This involves working through feelings, developing coping skills, and challenging thoughts that are self-defeating or negative. I strongly believe in the therapy process and the impact it can have in helping you feel better and achieve greater emotional well-being. I want to emphasize that you're not alone, and that I am available to help you work through this process. As your therapist, I would commit to helping you work through any problems that you are dealing with in a professional, therapeutic manner. I look forward to working with you as you journey towards the process of feeling better.

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!
