About My Clients
Now more than ever, it is especially important to take care of our emotional health as well as our physical. There are many different approaches to therapy and it is not “one size fits all.” As a therapist with extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I integrate this theory with other evidence-based treatments to address a wide range of issues. Most importantly, I focus on building a strong therapeutic bond with each of my clients through curiosity, understanding, and compassion.
My Background and Approach
I received my doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology. I completed my predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Rochester Medical, where I gained experience in integrated behavioral healthcare and worked extensively with adults presenting with mood disorders, anxiety, substance abuse, personality disorders, and trauma. After completing my formal training, Dr. Strickland worked as a therapist and clinical supervisor at Presence Wellness, a multidisciplinary wellness center located in Austin, TX. During my time at Presence Wellness, I discovered a newfound passion for working with couples while receiving additional training in couples therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
One of the aspects that I love the most about my work is having the opportunity to treat people from diverse backgrounds and sociocultural identities. I strive to create an emotionally safe space that allows for exploration of each client’s unique intersection of diversity, culture, and context. I am committed to treating with cultural humility and engaging in continuous personal and professional growth.
