My name is Artemis and I am the licensed psychotherapist at PBG Therapy. I offer traditional and Christian counseling. My goal is to help you find effective solutions which provide lasting success and empower you to confidently independently overcome future obstacles. The outcome is in your control. I believe therapy is a collaborative and transforming process. Which means, in order for therapy to be successful, we are both responsible for following through with our role. I am responsible for providing a supportive, compassionate, and non-judgmental environment. In addition, your comfort and trust are equally necessary factors to your success. Whether your problems are at home, work, or in social settings; Together, we develop attainable manageable goals to overcome them. I believe it is critical for my client to understand HOW the series of life events led to their current situation and how BALANCE is often a missing link. Too much of anything is never healthy. Additionally, I believe our perspective and attitude toward situations also plays a significant role in our outcomes. Having a positive attitude trains your brain to think and act in a solution focused method. A negative attitude promotes ourselves to think and act as if we already failed, which kills all joy and hope to continue trying. My clientele primarily consists of those recovering from life events which led to relationship problems, depression, anxiety, phobias, and/or self-destructive behaviors. Additionally, many clients also gradually develop their symptoms over time due to neglect or other unhealthy coping to mask them. After the HOW's and WHY's are identified and understood, change is possible. My goal is helping you become aware of maladaptive thinking and behavioral patterns which keep you stuck in the vicious cycle. The skills you learn in therapy are yours forever. The more you practice them, the more natural & lasting they will be. : )
