Phaecia Ward

Phaecia A. Ward, LCSW Counseling and Consulting Services, LLC is about providing mental health services to individuals couples, and families in addition to providing consultation services to individuals and organizations. In providing therapeutic services we pull from a few therapeutic techniques to help individuals and families work through issues related to mental health including, but not limited to depression and anxiety. Working  from a person-in-environment framework,  understanding and helping others understand how contextual and environmental factors have helped shaped how individuals make decisions that cause stress and conflict. In addition, I help individuals, families, and couples identify their own strengths and needs, encouraging them to build on their strengths to meet their needs. In providing consultation, my mission is to help organizations with program evaluation and development to help them develop organizational goals and strategies to improve their organization. 

I firmly believe that every individual can change if they are willing to engage in the necessary steps to develop the skills that would most benefit change to occur. I believe that as humans, we have endured issues significant to us that have been brought on by external factors within our environments and most often outside of our control. Those environmental factors contribute greatly to internalizing problems and how we cope and express our feelings and thoughts. With guidance from professionals who understand how our childhood experiences and environments can influence our behaviors, both negative and positive, individuals can develop healthy coping skills and experience life more positively and healthier.
