Counseling
Welcome to my counseling practice!
Hello, and welcome to my practice! My name is Tori, and I am a dedicated therapist specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). My counseling practice lies in helping adolescents and young adults navigate the complexities of life, empowering them to achieve personal growth and emotional well-being. I hold sacred providing a safe, supportive and confidential environment where you or your child can openly discuss their concerns and work towards positive change.
With 24 years of experience in the field of mental health, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients and families, each with their unique stories and challenges. I have worked in both the school environment, most recently with adolescents in high school, and private practice. My educational background includes a Master's Degree as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Psychological Examiner, along with specialized training in CBT and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). I have met the highest standards in the field and am a Nationally Board Certified Counselor.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective, evidence-based treatment that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. By addressing these patterns, CBT helps individuals develop healthier ways of thinking and acting, leading to improved emotional well-being and functioning. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues, CBT can provide the tools you need to manage and overcome these challenges.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) combines the principles of cognitive therapy with mindfulness practices. This therapeutic approach is designed to help individuals stay present in the moment, recognize and disengage from negative thought patterns, and develop a deeper understanding of their emotional experiences. MBCT is particularly effective for preventing relapse in individuals who have recovered from depression and for managing stress and anxiety.
