Casey Unger
I am Casey , Licensed Professional Counselor. I have been in the mental health field since 1994 and licensed since 2002. My experience ranges from working with the chronically mentally ill in public mental health, private practice, inpatient psychiatric, diagnostics/assessment, crisis intervention, anger management, and employee assistance. My primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the effectiveness it has in pointing out negative thought patterns. I also love to use Solution-Focused Therapy as well. Through CBT I can help you see unconscious schemas that are leading you to do what you do, where they came from, how they developed, and ultimately how to become your own therapist reframing and moving forward on your own. I love working with all individuals but feel that I have a specific skill in understanding people who feel thrown away, bullied, and/or marginalized in society. Historically, I have always done very well with people that no one else seems to be able to help or reach. In your first session you can expect to have me ask questions of you so I can understand who you are, where you come from, what has shaped your beliefs and perceptions, and to ultimately plot a course for something better. Most people are nervous and do not know what to expect so what I will say is we will just talk. While I do happen to be licensed, I am human, equal, and not above anyone. I will make telephonic/televideo therapy every bit as personal as face to face. I am also very analytical and able to see/put together patterns, diagnoses, and have an excellent ability to "turn on the windshield wipers in the rain" for my clients. As a result of surviving my own trauma as well as being a survivor of a disaster, I realize that one event in anyone's lives can reverse the side of the desk they are sitting on. There is always that one event(s) that can put the counselor into the position of the client as well and shows our vulnerability as humans. I make it a point to come across as approachable and not superior and I am very responsive to my clients. . PLEASE NOTE: I have other roles that I work around so the times on my schedule seem limited. However, if there is another time you need to be seen please message me and we will work something out. Second, If you are covered under CVS/Aetna EAP then please choose another therapist as I am unable to accept these clients due to a conflict of interest. And finally, due to time constraints, I am only doing individual counseling and not couple's counseling.
