What evidence-based practices do you offer?
Primarily, I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). It is specifically proven to help children and adolescents recover from trauma.
TF-CBT is a short-term treatment encompassing 8 – 25 sessions with the child/adolescent and the caregiver.
TF-CBT also addresses many issues besides trauma; i.e., anxiety, depression, cognitive and behavioral problems, improving the caregiver’s personal distress over the child/adolescent experiencing trauma.
How many sessions do you do a month?
That is entirely up to you! I see some clients every week, some twice a month, and some once a month. You set the number of sessions.
How long will I be in therapy?
I don’t require you to stay for a specified amount of time. The time you spend in therapy is up to you.
Are you the only black male therapist in the area?
There aren’t many of us. I’m not sure who else is in the area.
