Hello, I'm Terrance Battles, a licensed professional counselor specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy. With a strong foundation in these evidence-based practices, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate through their challenges and achieve personal growth. Through a compassionate and client-centered approach, I strive to create a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
My approach
In my therapy approach, I combine direct skills, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and person-centered techniques to address men's issues, anxiety, relationship challenges, and career concerns. I create a safe space for men to explore masculinity, identity, and societal expectations. With CBT, I help clients challenge negative thought patterns contributing to anxiety. For relationship issues, I focus on communication, empathy, and emotional intimacy. In career counseling, I help clients navigate transitions and work-life balance. My goal is to provide tailored support for personal growth and self-discovery.
My focus
I provide individual and couples therapy to help clients navigate through their challenges and develop healthier coping strategies. I also offer support in building communication skills, setting boundaries, and improving self-esteem. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their emotions, gain insight, and make positive changes in their lives.
My communication style
I believe in being direct and free-flowing in our sessions, which means that I will challenge you to confront and address your issues head-on. I am not here to sugarcoat things or beat around the bush – I want to help you make real, lasting changes in your life. I believe in creating a dynamic and fluid therapeutic environment where we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors naturally and organically. I will adapt my interventions to suit your unique needs and personality, and I am not afraid to push you outside of your comfort zone to facilitate growth and change. Overall, my goal is to create a safe and supportive space for you to explore and work through your challenges. I am here to guide you on your journey of self-discovery and personal development, and I am committed to helping you achieve your goals. I am excited to work with you and support you on your path to healing and growth. Thank you for choosing me as your therapist.
My goals for you
When establishing goals with clients, it is important to understand their long-term vision and aspirations, define specific and achievable goals, prioritize them, set milestones, review and adjust as needed, and celebrate achievements along the way.
My first session with you
Clients should expect me to challenge them, reassure them, and promote self-awareness and personal growth are some of the key elements of my therapy sessions. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings, and work towards finding solutions to their problems. During our sessions, I will challenge you to confront and work through difficult emotions and patterns of behavior. This may involve exploring past experiences, identifying negative thought patterns, and learning new coping skills. I will also provide support and guidance as you navigate these challenges, and help you build confidence in your ability to overcome obstacles. Overall, my goal is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences, and empower you to make positive changes in your life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your individual needs and goals. Together, we can work towards building a stronger, healthier, and more fulfilling future.
