My Approach to Helping
My name is Barbara Pease, LCSW. I have been a practicing therapist for 26 years. I will not be telling you anything that I have not had to learn for myself. I have worked with persons from different cultures and walks of life. I have been through counseling myself and know how difficult it is to open up to a stranger about my thoughts and past experiences. I am non-judgmental and I am open to suggestions for my own improvement. I recognize that everyone’s life situation is unique and I keep that in mind as I work with new clients. Living an emotionally well life does not mean you will not experience stress, daily hassles, depression, or life challenges. Like all people, you will continue to experience loss, grief, hardship, sadness, and anxiety. The difference is I will arm you with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to deal effectively with whatever life throws at you. You will be a positive person who has the ability to bounce back in the face of adversity. You will have the tools and techniques to cope with difficult life situations and maintain a positive outlook and positive sense of self. I will give you the tools you need to do that.
