LET ME HELP YOU!
Hi, I’m Dr. D’Juana Pittman, I’m a Mental Health Counselor who works with individual adults and couples helping them to thrive! I help client's to stabilize their lives and relationships by using a collaborative approach that target's maladapted thinking and root causes that impair them.
Be it trauma, dysregulation, a mental disorder, or family of origin issues there may be some things from the past that may plague us mentally and/or emotionally causing unwanted problems in our today. However, a key issue in mental and emotional wellbeing is irrational thoughts that undermine our perspectives negatively impact how we feel and our behavior. We sometimes bring faulty thinking and perspectives with us in our relationships and at times they take over and begin to eat away at the very fabric and health of the relationship.
I work will work with you as an individual or you and your partner to help you to alleviate distress, repair thoughts and perspectives, and heal the old wounds that are preventing you from living your best life! Using my 5-phase approach to counseling, clients can begin to see meaningful change in as few as 12 weeks with core level changes happening in as few as 20 weeks.
You deserve a good life that brings you happiness and satisfaction. If you are ready to work towards the necessary changes to have the life you desire, signup today… Let’s get to work!
Sincerely,
Dr. D'Juana
Client's move from: “distressed” To: “stabilization”
As a my client you can expect to move from being distressed to experiencing stabilization within yourself and/or within your relationship. You can expect to move from hostile and ineffective engagement and communication to learning to communicate effectively expressing yourself in a manner where you can be heard, understood, and seen.
Client's move from: “dysfunctional thoughts and perspectives” To: “more organized and stable thinking and perception”
Aided by CBT, DBT, and ACT therapeutic techniques, you will move from having dysnfunctional thoughts and perspectives that impair your life and functioning to intentionally and properly processing those thoughts and perspectives to arrive at behaviors that led you towards your goals.
My Therapeutic Modalities
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - Challenging faulty and maladaptive thoughts, Refocusing, and Restructuring the individual partners thinking, thought processes, and perspectives.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - Thoughts create feelings, feelings, create behaviors, the behaviors reinforce thoughts, cycle repeats. The therapy treats emotional responses. It relies on cognition and rationale.
Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT) - Facilitates psychological flexibility. Cognitive defusion: This process helps you change how you interact with your thoughts. Instead of seeing a thought as an absolute truth.
