Find a licensed online therapist in Mesa, AZ

Hello There! I am so glad you are considering choosing BetterHelp to address your concerns. If you choose me as your therapist, I look forward to getting to know you and spending time helping you with your goals. I also want to introduce myself. I am personable, kind, accepting, and funny. I have been helping others since the age of 21. I received my doctorate in psychology in 2002 and have been a licensed psychologist since 2005. My therapy practice has primarily focused on teenagers and adults. I have worked with many issues and find that I am successful doing so with the help of clients. Further, with your permission, I will consult with others if we happen to hit a wall. I love to help others achieve goals and experience satisfaction and happiness with their lives. I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasizes how your thoughts influence your feelings and choices. For example, if a client is unsure if they should stay in a relationship, we would explore how his/her thoughts about the relationship influence feelings (sadness, dissatisfaction) and choices (not talking to that person, returning their belongings). I then work with a client on making choices that are based on logic and truly identified desire. CBT is very effective in a fairly short amount of time and the techniques we would use are transferable to any issues you experience in the future. You would be able to utilize them by yourself if you'd like! I enjoy a relationship that is honest and appreciate feedback. The satisfaction that comes with helping others brings wonderful meaning to my life. If you choose to work with me, I believe you will find meaning and help in the experience.

The issues I work with in therapy are mind-body issues. I do not have a mental illness approach. What is good for the body is good for the brain and vice versa. My openness and inclusivity influence my approach to therapy. I do not judge. I accept. I am more interested in your uniqueness than your diagnosis and I expect a full recovery in treatment. I fit well with expectations from a person who is here on their own volition, is willing and open to change, and is trying to develop resiliency in life, problem-solving without drama in relationships, and self-respect. I try my best to provide a secure space and collaborate. I take notes and I read them at the end of the session. As opposed to homework, I offer experiments to try between conversations. Depending on preference, I can be direct in helping people identify their goals by collaborating on a treatment plan. I can also be non-direct and identify our goals through the flow of the conversation. A first session with me begins with a casual greeting and formalities regarding confidentiality, rights, and risk assessment questions, followed by a lead-in question to get the ball rolling.

My name is Dorothy: I have been a counselor /therapist for over 40 years. Twenty-Five years of my career has been in acute care hospitals. I dealt daily with, grief trauma, suicide and life changing illnesses. My critical thinking skills are finely tuned to help a patient or client process and take care of their family and selves at the most tragic times in their lives. Within these tragic situations, I have been able to assist and help clients find a path to go forward. In less stressful situations, I have used motivational interviewing to help a client within very chaotic situations not only move forward, but also to create goals for their lives and plans to achieve those goals. I have worked with Military families and children . I have worked for 2 years in a school-based homeless program providing meals, counseling, home visits and resources for families facing many challenges. I have coordinated with schools, courts and child protective services to help families remain together and focused on what they need to do to keep their families together in the most difficult of times. I have provided couples counseling, family counseling and groups. I have taught parenting skills while learning the most useful lessons from the parents themselves. Often my primary tool for family intervention is Systems theory. This theory is based on family and individual strengths. It basically theorizes that if a direct approach to change in a family doesn't work then another less obvious problem solving approach might work. Or that working on a positive change in another part of a client's world, might positively impact what can the desired change through a less direct route. This in turn may cause a ripple effect of other that impacts the entire family in a positive yet productive way. This method of intervention recognizes that families ultimately provide love and care as their roots of growth and nurture in a family. I trust the family process to produce the best results for a family. I work hard to help you or your family in any compassionate way that I can while always keeping in focus the safety and well being of the family and the children. I always expect and realize that families are working even harder at these goals than I am. We are a team . Sometimes only brief supportive interventions are helpful Other times, depending upon where the family is in its process, more intense interventions are appropriate. My intent in any dynamic is to be of service to you and your family. I listen to the verbal, spiritual energy of the family and attempt to participate in the family "flow " and help to continue to guide it in a positive direction. Often these goals are very do-able. If I can't be helpful, I will certainly guide your family to someone who can be helpful. I look forward to working with you as much as you may need. Thank you.
