Phaedra Dunn LCSW

I work in conjunction with clients using Cognitive behavioral therapy to assist clients in identifying and challenging patterns of thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve them. Through the use of collaborative discussions, we work to explore the impact these thoughts and behaviors have on our emotions and actions. By fostering self-awareness and developing health coping mechanisms you feel more empowered.

Mindfulness-based therapy is used with my clients to support them in cultivating more present moment awareness and non-judgmental acceptance. Through guided practices, you learn to observe your thoughts and emotions without attachment which enables you to feel more grounded and balanced. Incorporating mindfulness into your daily life enhances self-regulation and reduces stress.

Solution focused brief therapy is best used to help clients identify and amplify their strengths and resources to focus on solutions. Through targeted discussions, we collaborate to set clear achievable goals and explore past successes. You are empowered to find solutions and deepen self-efficacy.

Through a collaborative process, I help clients explore the history of their self-esteem while challenging negative beliefs while promoting self-compassion. We use evidence based interventions like Cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness for you to work on setting goals, enhance self-awareness and a more positive self-image.

Depression is not always easy to identify and the symptoms can vary greatly from one person to another. Through a compassionate and personalized approach, you are able to explore the history of your symptoms and other contributing factors. I foster a safe space for you to express your concerns and guide you in better understanding your symptoms, how they manifest in your everyday life and the best course of treatment for you.

Individuals dealing with anxiety benefit from a collaborative and supportive alliance with self and therapist. Through empathetic listening and the use of Cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness, you are able to identify triggers, challenge over-thinking and understand how past trauma and environment may be contributing factors. Ultimately, resulting in greater self-compassion and self-awareness.
