My primary modalities of treatment are Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Oriented Therapy. I have dual professions. Along with my Clinical Social Work background, I am a Licensed Ordained Minister with a MDIV from Wesley Biblical Seminary. However, I don't impose my value system on my clients. Among the issues treated include depression, anxiety, stress related issues, relationship issues, social skills, self-esteem, veteran and military issues, trauma, aging, life developmental issues, spiritual issues, life transitional changes and many more. I have worked in both out-patient and residential treatment settings.
My primary mode of counseling is Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Client-centered therapy. Because of my dual professions, I am equipped to provide faith-based counseling to those client who are interested in receiving faith-based counseling. I don't impose my values or believes on any clients served. I am compassionate and considerate regarding the needs of all clients. I am goal-oriented and inclusive of clients in the development of goals. I believe that the answers to many problems lie with clients, and I serve as a facilitator and change agent to help them discover the solutions to their own problems.

Rev. Redding is very attentive to me as a client . She is knowledgeable and understanding of my needs.
She made it easy to talk to her and gave ways to communicate effectively with my husband. She does not rush you and let's you take your time to talk about sensitive subjects. It is easy to talk to her and help me reestablish some relationships. Highly recommend her!

I am a Christian and I sought a therapist thay shared my faith. She didn't preach to me or anything like that, but she understands that my core is my faith and the things I said she could understand. She has helped me work through my issues. She has given me tools that I can use when our time together ends. She's a master at her craft.
Rev. Redding is an excelllent listener she understands and give you the sholuder that you need. I have only had two sessions but in these sessions and through her advice I have gained great perseptive and a new out look on the things that I go through. How to handle them.
She's been great, she listens and offers great advice, she doesn't feel like a therapist as in just by the book, it actually feels like she cares.
Warm and easy to speak too. Nonjudgmental. Reads between the lines easily and helps greatly with finding the best words and explanations for thoughts and feelings when you yourself are unable to find them.

I enjoy Rev. Redding so much. She is a person who understands what you going through and never judges. I mean just because you might feel like a walking disaster with Rev Redding you not. She makes it seem like you more than a client of hers. You will end up feeling like family.

Rev. Redding never pushes her religious beliefs in our sessions. She has been key in helping me through recovering from abuse and navigating through incredibly hard life decisions. In our video sessions, I am able to see her face and she is always so attentive, and her smile is so radiant that I feel her energy over the phone! Every session ends with my strength feeling renewed and a strong sense of direction.
