Neuropsychological Evaluation / Testing Therapist

Pamela Swanson, M.Ed., LPC
Mental Health Counselor/Therapist
Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403
Therapy that Works
I am the sole practitioner at ABC Solutions which offers individual, family, and couple counseling. My approach is solution focused and narrative—looking at the presenting problem and finding solutions within the story the client tells about his/her life. I adhere to the systemic approach when looking at families—believing the system has created the problem rather than one person in the family being the problem. I include many cognitive/behavioral techniques such as homework, repeated affirmations, goal sheets, hand outs, in session practice, and other behavioral techniques to assist with quick change. While most problems can be dealt with in this manner, a client’s history often has an impact on “stuckness” and past issues will be taken in to account if necessary. The initial assessment always includes a brief history of family, work, medical, social environmental, alcohol and drug use, along with previous treatment and risk assessment (suicidality and homicidality). With any significant finding a more in depth evaluation may be necessary. I have experience and training in parenting, premarital therapy, play therapy, couple issues, gay and lesbian issues, trauma, anger management, mood disorders, alcohol and drug abuse, depression, anxiety, compulsive disorders, health related issues, co-dependence, eating disorders, women’s issues, stress management, post traumatic stress disorder, occupational issues, life management, bereavement, adolescent issues, domestic violence, incest survivors and sexual dysfunction. I work with all ages face to face but can not provide play therapy for children telephonically for obvious reasons. Though I have worked with trauma survivors extensively, many trauma treatments require face to face counseling. I cannot do EMDR telephonically. I believe in the power of my clients to heal themselves with guidance and education. By applying the skills they will learn in the therapy sessions they can transform their lives. I also believe that by changing your thinking you can change your life. Your feelings come for your thinking. Even when “out there” circumstances seem to control your life, you can choose how to perceive them. I help you take charge of your life.

Glenn Caddy, Ph.D., A.B.P.P., F.A.P.A.
Mental Health Counselor/Therapist
Ft Lauderdale, FL 33394
My clinical practice in general involves the delivery of sophisticated, pragmatic, and highly focused services designed to evaluate and then resolve the psychological or coping difficulties that occur across a broad array of diagnoses and problem areas. I employ the best evidence based intervention approaches and in general the psychotherapeutic orientation is both humanistic and cognitive behavioral in nature. Most diagnosable mental health problems and the adjustment difficulties of everyday life are problems created predominantly by faulty learning and the poor coping strategies that people employ in their attempts to manage difficulties with their interpersonal and other life adjustments. The treatment orientation which I employ is designed to meet the unique needs of the individual case but in general it involves restructuring the faulty thinking and empowering the person with replacing the faulty thinking with more adaptive and rational strategies and the teaching of new skills. I also do life enhancement and performance coaching to enhance life stills of people in Australia, Canada, the United States, Great Britain, and South Africa. I work with high performance athletes and highly placed corporate executives to assist them in advancing their mastery of their emotional skills to help them to better perform in their sport, in the career path, and in their home lives as well. It is also the case that I coach everyday people to improve their wellness and fitness or to otherwise improve their everyday quality of life and relationships. Finally, in my forensic practice I am hired by attorneys in cases that range from criminal law involving sexual assault, to mental retardation, to insanity, all the way up to post conviction death cases. In family law I specialize in high conflict cases involving alienation or estrangement. In personal injury cases I work with the range all the way up to brain trauma cases. I have worked on war crimes and other torture cases. I have worked on cases involving workplace discrimination and harassment. The list is vast and includes more than two thousand cases.

EMDR work by changing feeling states of past memory
I offer a healing warm environment utilizing the most modern methods in treatment. EMDR utilized by a well trained professional can change the quality of your life. Also I provide EEG Neurofeedback for patients with learning problems and attention issues. I have 14 years experience in the field completing my graduate work in 1999 and I am professionally trained by the Northern California Regional Coordinator for the EMDR International Association and am now a licensed trained EMDR Psychotherapist. EMDR can restructure memories creating new positive pathways resulting in decreased anxiety, improved mood and better sleep. I addition I provide a super bill for individuals with PPO or POS insurance. EMDR is brief therapy and is very powerful to change negative memories linked to undiscovered childhood trauma which feed and leads to long term anxiety and depression removing the locked dysfunctional distortion within the mind. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy approaches. Could EMDR help me? A growing body of evidence is showing that many psychological conditions, including depression, often start with a stressful or traumatic experience. We are finding that EMDR Therapy with a Certified EMDR therapist can help significantly with symptoms of PTSD, phobias, depression, anxiety, panic, early and complex adverse experiences in childhood, and much more. It also has a strong track record for performance enhancement in a wide variety of fields — school, work, business, sales, sports, the arts, and that Most Popular Fear of All Time: public speaking.

Get Un-Stuck and Get Your Life Back on Track! Life Is Short.
Stop Defeating Yourself & "Find Out What Is Right with You!"
Hello, my name is Dr. Steve Harris. I will work compassionately with you to help you find your way towards more fulfilling relationships and a satisfying life. I work with a broad variety of people who are trying to get un-stuck from areas in their lives that have become counterproductive ways of coping. People frequently arrive at my office after reading self-help books, working hard to develop successful and healthy habits, exercising, changing their appetite and/or diet, taking medication (or refusing to), but find that these changes did not reach something deeper inside that seems to get in the way. They are usually smart people who know what to do, but in the “heat of the moment” all of the seemingly good tools, learning, and insights “go out the window” and an emotional reaction that sabotages the potential for success often intervenes. Whether it is to be able to have a satisfying relationship, overcome intense anxiety, break out of a deep depression, recover from a traumatic experience, overcome an addiction, or other life problem, numerous people come to me to remove the barriers in their lives so they can live more freely and get back on track of healthy living. It is important for me to help people uncover what is right with them, not just focus exclusively on their problems. I am a clinical psychologist in private practice in Orange County for over 20 years. I would like to have the opportunity to explore further what might be done to help. Please call me today to schedule a Free initial consultation. Don’t delay getting on with your life any longer!

Counseling for Individuals, Couples and Families

Our Specialties Include: • Aging • Caregiver Stress • Family Relationships • Long Term Care Issues • Palliative & Hospice Care • Anxiety & Depression • Sexual Health & Intimacy • Grief & Loss • Self-Image • Spiritual Enhancement What can I expect in my first session? Your first appointment will be an initial evaluation. Counseling sessions will begin after your initial evaluation and can be scheduled weekly, depending on your needs. Supervision: Who do we supervise? • Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns • Registered Marriage and Family Therapy Interns How does supervision work? MHC Interns and MFT Interns usually receive 1 hour of clinical supervision weekly while providing direct clinical services to clients. Supervision would be directed toward core competencies. Clergy: Clergypersons, seminary students (or CPE interns/residents) and their families often face distinct challenges that necessitate special attention about their sense of calling, managing critical relationships and integrating new discoveries about themselves. Compared to the general public, clergypersons are more at risk for burnout, depression, and chronic illness. The perception that the clergyperson is "the problem solver" can be extremely distressing and harmful to the individual, families and congregation. I provide a respectful and safe environment in which matters of faith and personal challenges can be explored and resolved. Life Coaching: What is life coaching? Life coaching is a collaborative process where specific steps are identified to successfully achieve desired goals. While psychotherapy focuses on healing the past, coaching focuses on the present and is an active process for people who are committed and ready to take concrete steps towards their own success. What topics can be addressed in life coaching? • Health and wellness • Career change • Time management • Education • Social skills • Dating • Lifestyle changes • Family/adolescent communication • Spirituality

Jackie Meltz, PsyD, LCSW
Clinical Social Worker/Therapist
Pasadena, CA 91101
Psychotherapist
I’m a trained psychotherapist with 15+ years experience working with adults and adolescents. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, OCD, depression, self-sabotaging behaviors, and relationship problems. I integrate various treatment approaches and theories in my work with clients, including somatic experiencing, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, attachment theory, spirituality, and buddhist meditation. I work in an empathic and supportive environment, helping clients to rapidly get to the core issues which keep them stuck in their lives, unhappy in relationships, or chronically depressed, angry, or anxious. Almost always, what creates suffering is the avoidance of painful feelings and/or experiences. When we avoid these painful feelings, we become more anxious, more depressed, or more angry. This leads to a vicious cycle of problems within ourselves (i.e, depression) or in relationships, which cause us even more suffering. By bringing to the surface the deep and buried, often complex, underlying thoughts, emotions, and experiences and working them through (feeling them in the body, understanding their source), this frees them up. And the unwanted feelings (anxiety, depression) or behavior melt away on their own. This then allows us to be more connected to both ourselves and others, to have more intimacy in our relationships and to feel more fulfilled in general. Using this approach, significant and lasting change can happen rather quickly, much quicker than most other therapies out there. And because these changes occur at a deep level, they tend to be lasting.
