My name is Edith Little and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I am a compassionated social worker who is an active listener. I am an active listener who is dedicate to work tirelessly to help you resolve issues and thrive on your own terms.
My approach
I am trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, situational family therapy, trauma-informed therapy, EMDR and NLP I also have experience in grief and bereavement counseling. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with mindfulness.
My focus
I am most comfortable treating any one over the the age of 18. I do not want to work with children, couple counseling or bi-polar.
My communication style
I would hope that other's find me to be an attentive listener, to be sensitive and empathic. I am not there to tell them what to do but help them find the resources that they can utilize to become a thriving individual.
My journey to mental healthcare
I think that I have always been a helping person. I felt that this was what my calling was to be and in 1987 I went and received my Master's in Social Work. I feel that there are is so much pain in this world and I had a counselor when I was a summer missionary in 1982 in South Carolina who taught hug therapy and I think that was when I knew that I wanted to help others find a path to thriving not just surviving and feel that in the last years since 1990 I hope that in Iowa have made this happen.
My goals for you
I would see this a team approach, to help clients to identify why they are seeking counseling and what I can do to help them in this process. To help set small individual goals as they look at the big picture and to build success.
My first session with you
That they will come to a place where they can feel to talk about whatever they need to do so, to let them know that I am honored and feel it a privilege to walk this journey with them.
