Great to meet you! I am Tatiana R. Fallas, LMHC, Master CASAC. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy. Just like we are all individuals, your treatment will be individualized and geared to meet your therapeutic needs. Humanistic, psychodynamic, and/or behavioral approaches are utilized in therapy sessions.
My approach
A bit about my approach to approach. Focusing on a person's strengths helps empower them/build self-esteem. Changing intrusive thoughts with positive thinking helps deal with feelings of depression & anxiety. Living in the moment will help a person remain grounded & balanced. These are just a few examples of therapeutic approaches that will be utilized in our therapy sessions.
My focus
I have gained a vast majority of experience over the years working with diverse cultures, races, ages, and genders, as well as individuals with mental health and/or substance use issues. My specialty is Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Life Stressors, and Substance Use.
My communication style
Many times, we don’t realize that it takes a village to deal with mental health. By working together, we can work towards the attainment of your mental and emotional wellness. Taking care of our mind is just as important as taking care of our body.
My journey to mental healthcare
I believe in life we follow a golden thread. My golden thread goes as far back as my childhood and has brought me to my career choice of being a Mental Health Counselor. The fact that a person can become totally vulnerable, and allows me to partake in their journey, is one of the unconditional reasons of what drives me to do this work.
My goals for you
Goal setting is based on the individual needs of the clients. It is important for the client to identify goals they would like to attain while in therapy.
My first session with you
During our first session, I would like to know what brings you to therapy, as well as what preliminary goals you would like to attain in this process, what are your expectations in therapy, and what you can identify as barriers in this journey.
