Bonnie Hegna LMFT143978. My approach to therapy is eclectic. I use a wide variety of approaches to therapy. I will start with getting to know you and why you are wanting therapy at this time in your life and move on from there. My focus areas of practice have been grief and loss, self-inflicted violent behavior, abuse, DV, couples therapy, working with kids, all different populations. I have worked with all different populations and enjoy a variety.
My approach
The most common theoretical approaches to therapy that I use are eclectic, art therapy, play therapy, talk therapy, solution-focused, couple therapy, family therapy, person-centered, Gestalt, and Satir.
My focus
I have treated clients who are abuse victims/survivors, DV, grief and loss, ADHD, ODD, MDD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and adjustment disorder. I am comfortable with grief and loss and self-inflicted violent behavior as well as ADHD, MDD, ODD, anxiety, and adjustment to different phases of life.
My communication style
I create a soothing, safe, serene, and comfortable environment. I utilize different interventions with play and art therapy and give homework. I utilize active and reflective listening. I assist the client with developing a treatment plan.
My journey to mental healthcare
What attracted me to this line of work was when I first started to work in group homes and was working with abused children.
My goals for you
I approach goal setting with my clients by obtaining their input and working together.
My first session with you
The first session would consist of getting to know likes and dislikes as well as why now you are wanting therapy in your life.
