My name is Precious George. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (PC012479) in the state of Pennsylvania. I care about my client's well-beings and provide the tools they need, in order to seize the day and learn how to tackle even the most challenging circumstances.
My approach
Psychotherapy is a professional relationship that involves lots of talking, however the content is explored through the lens of a theoretical orientation. There are a variety of theoretical orientations that include but are not limited to, dialectical behavior therapy, psychoanalysis, family systems, attachment theory, and cognitive behavior therapy. My sessions focus on the use of the latter. ​Cognitive behavior therapy explores problems based on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Therapy helps clients to identify their thought patterns, emotional responses, and behavioral reactions. Thought patterns are examined to identify, challenge, and restructure irrational beliefs, to make them more objective and realistic. This can have the effect of improving overall mood, the ability to problem-solve, and demonstrate healthy behavioral reactions.
My focus
I have a wealth of experience working with adults, teenagers, children, and families. I have helped many clients living with and/or experiencing overwhelming depression, anxiety, ADHD, interpersonal relationship issues, parenting problems, low self-esteem, and difficulty managing anger. Currently, my work is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of depression and bipolar disorders.
My communication style
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. You are not a diagnosis! I provide clients with a therapeutic relationship that is collaborative, supportive, objective, neutral, and nonjudgmental.
My journey to mental healthcare
Being a therapist is a pretty awesome role! I was attracted to the profession early on in my career in the mental health field. My education and training have taught me a lot about human behavior, indications of illness, and what wellness looks like. I utilize a number of therapeutic techniques in my own life.
My goals for you
Psychotherapy is a professional relationship that involves an exploration of difficult feelings, thoughts, and behaviors that get in the way of healthy relationships and goals. Psychotherapy can be challenging and uncomfortable, at times. Therapists will often validate your feelings, however it is imperative that you are challenged to reflect on your thoughts, behaviors, and attitudes, in order to grow. Therapy is not intended to last forever, therefore it involves a collaboration to identify specific and measurable treatment goals. These goals are based on what you want to see yourself doing differently that would be better. Progress is routinely monitored with the intent of enabling autonomy, encouraging independence, and respecting your ability to make your own decisions.,
