Hello, I am Jeanie Takaki, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker! I look forward to meeting with you! You may need assistance with a new adjustment in life, stress, anxiety, depression, or overcoming past trauma. We can write a new future for your Life Path using a Vision Board or any method of goal setting that you prefer. Please let me know what you want to get started on . . . :-)
My approach
I enjoy using Solution-Focused Therapy which may include Relaxation Techniques, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Narrative Therapy techniques. I am trained in evidence-based practice Trauma-Focused CBT which uses all of the above to assist individuals in creating a new story about themselves after a traumatic incident.
My focus
I have experience in working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief and loss, parent and child conflicts. I have specific training in working with clients who have experienced trauma.
My communication style
I like my clients to feel comfortable, safe, and supported with trust. I would want them to not feel afraid to say what they really think and feel. I like for humor to be a part of the session when appropriate.
My journey to mental healthcare
I believe that all that comes our way in life (challenging or supportive) forms us to where we need to go on a Life Path that is meant for us. I believe God called me to be a Therapist so that all experiences would be used for good to assist others to find their Life Path.
My goals for you
I absolutely believe in using a Vision Board to create a big-picture goal of where Clients want to go in Life! There is importance in capturing what each individual really sees their ideal life to look like! Also important is to be specific and measurable in what they want to accomplish in therapy so we know when the goal is achieved.
My first session with you
First, there should be some time for an icebreaker if necessary to make sure a Client is comfortable. We need to establish if the Client feels ready to go ahead and begin services. Secondly, I want to get background history and information so that we can have that foundation before forming a goal.
