I aim to provide a therapeutic space that allows for collaboration to heal while processing life\u2019s current stressors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and currently in the process of completing the training for Child Parent Psychotherapy. During my time in the therapeutic space, I have provided trauma informed care with a focus on children and families. I have experience working in foster care, adoption, individuals life stressors, and traumatic events. I can assist individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, and overcoming traumatic life experiences. I have a passion to build connections between children and their families. Working to resolve conflict, improve communication, build attachment, and respond to behaviors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I use a person-centered approach that is empathically driven. Allowing for self-discovery helping the individual reach their full potential and make positive life changes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There is nothing more humbling than getting to walk alongside both children and families in different seasons of life. No matter the season of life I aim to empower and provide a safe place that allows for growth and positive change.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(LMSW)<\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":12789,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"gallery","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-gallery","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-fayetteville","post_format-post-format-gallery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chenaltherapy.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
