Hi, my name is Cristian Rideaux and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have experience working with young adults with anxiety, stress, and depression. I use a variety of modalities such as CBT, DBT, or MI to help my clients make progress toward their goals.
My approach
My approach to therapy is very client-centered and focused. I meet each client where they are and help them set realistic goals for themselves and work to achieve them.
My focus
I have experience working with many different age groups and mental health diagnoses. I have experience working with individuals with depression, anxiety, and Bipolar disorder. I work with each client to help them understand their symptoms and find ways to cope.
My communication style
My communication style is calm and welcoming. I am open and want to make sure my clients feel comfortable and understood so they can get the most out of therapy.
My journey to mental healthcare
I wanted to be a therapist because the resilience of humans is incredible. People can go through hard times but still have the ability to come out the other side. I love seeing that part of humanity.
My goals for you
I want to make sure to work with my clients to make sure they are a part of goal setting and making sure each goal is realistic and achievable.
My first session with you
During the first session, you should expect that I will be asking some questions to understand what symptoms you have been experiencing.
