Hello. My name is Paul Tretbar, LCSW. My Florida License number is SW6808. I work with adults and adolescents who are dealing with life challenges, old and new, and desire a compassionate person to join them in their healing journey.
My approach
I work with my clients using an eclectic approach, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Object Relations theoretical models. I try to meet people where they are and to use the therapy process to advance the goals jointly identified in gaining stability, freedom, and direction.
My focus
I work with adults and adolescents, working with various conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, bipolar disorder, as well as others.
My communication style
I work to establish a bond of mutual understanding and to develop trust and confidence to be able to take the steps needed in order to grow and heal. I desire to make people feel comfortable, to feel understood, and to gain clarity regarding the issues they are facing.
My journey to mental healthcare
I wanted to pursue a career that helps others and that makes a difference in the world. I feel my spiritual relationship with God motivated me to give and to provide healing that is needed in many people's lives and that I would be able to provide based on my gifts and abilities.
My goals for you
When setting goals, it is done mutually with input from the person seeking services, in a way that inspires confidence and will bring success.
My first session with you
We will spend time getting to know each other, getting to know your history and the goals you have for therapy. We will try to understand where we are starting from and where we are trying to get to.
