My favorite part of being a mental health care provider is watching people grow in their self-care journey. I am a person-centered mental health care provider who uses other theoretical approaches as needed, including systems approaches, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I seek to provide hope and assistance to VTMHI’s patients.
Residents in Counseling and Residents in Marriage and Family Therapy help support mental and emotional health by helping couples and families develop strategies and solutions to life’s challenges – they have completed their education and practice under supervision until fully licensed.
