Hey Y’all! My name is Hope Czbas and I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). My approach to therapy is initially one that is client-centered; I believe it is important to first meet a client where they are at with that of compassion and understanding. I have a wide array of training within the mental health field but have the most experience supporting those healing through trauma, identity issues, and emotional distress & regulation skills.
My approach
With every approach to therapy, I try to make it as individualized to the person I’m working with as possible. I operate through a multicultural and social justice-based lens; meaning, I apply a more intersectional approach to my theoretical frameworks. I feel it's important to recognize how the binary of race, sexuality, gender, religion, culture, socioeconomic status, spirituality, citizenship, and education play a role. My experience and professional training are in the following interventions: CPT, ERP, DBT, CBT, Postpartum Depression / Perinatal Health, Multicultural Counseling, Crisis Intervention, Harm Reduction, and Suicide prevention.
My focus
I work with clients from various cultures and age groups. I have a history of working with young adolescents, middle-aged adults, and seniors. BIPOC community, cis-gendered & non-binary folx as well as people in crisis. Typically, I work with those experiencing a range of co-occurring disorders. I’ve been able to support people in their healing process with Depression & Anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar, Adjustment disorders, and phase of life issues to name a few.
My communication style
I believe finding the right therapist is like buying a pair of shoes; sometimes we have to continue trying them on until we find the right fit! I know finding the right clinician can be both a difficult and vulnerable process; I try to keep that in mind in my initial sessions with clients. I believe in approaching clients with direct and transparent communication while also allowing my personality to be present in the space. Therapy is a dynamic we create together; I’m committed to creating a space that at times can be challenging, but also understanding and warmth.
