Hello! My name is Budy (pronounced Beauty) . I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience working as therapist, Director and life coach in training. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, parenting problems, with experience in child welfare. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma, emotional and sexual abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I consider the client/therapist relationship to be the most important thing in counseling. I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines trauma-focused, Cognitive Behavioral, solution focused and motivational interviewing counseling styles. I tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage and vulnerability to seek support. If you are ready to take that step I am here to empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
