Hello, I am Travis Knowlton, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach to therapy is that of being strength-based and my goal is to make you your own mental warrior!
My approach
looking at life and therapy through an existential lens, getting to the root cause of our troubles will release us of your traumas, triggers, and frustrations. Implementing somatic psychotherapy is an approach where the body holds the ability to manage and process stress. The combination of the two will allow an awareness of self and life that is liberating.
My focus
I attend to clients starting at the age of 12, families, couples, and individuals who are facing daily stressors, toxic stress, and trauma.
My communication style
I will be there with you along the way practicing coping skills, working through relationship and communication struggles. Challenges will be presented that are tailored to you and your life as well as a safe and encouraging environment.
My journey to mental healthcare
Becoming a therapist was ignited when I was a young troubled kid and though I did not want to go to therapy it puzzled me how my therapist would get me to talk, and talk about all kinds of things! From that point I grew up and enlisted in the Navy, deploying to Afghanistan when my first child was born. Realizing I had to figure life out I began the difficult process of becoming a civilian again, and there the joy and love of therapy was ignited again!
My goals for you
Goal setting is an interdependent process that is completed with the client and tailored to their specific needs.
My first session with you
During the first session, I will offer you my approach, style, and background so that openness, trust, and availability are built into the environment.
