Alice J Barton
As an experienced therapist of over 17 years, I feel uniquely qualified to work with a wide variety of individuals experiencing life changes or traumatic events. As a recently certified therapist in ACT, I now have additional skills to add to my already comprehensive experience in modalities.
My scope of practice includes working with clients with PTSD, I specialized in utilizing EMDR to help clients with complex, acute and chronic PTSD and I work with couples using evidence-based techniques.
You will notice a difference between what you have experienced before and how you will learn and grow with a professionally guided therapist. You will be treated with kindness and compassion.
First session
My approach is open, friendly, welcoming, supportive. Intake will be the first session to include a biopsychosocial which is a general questionnaire which will help me gain a better perspective of where to address therapy.
Strengths
Most of my clients say "I care", so I find that differentiates me, but also with each client I treat them as a whole individuals person.
Ideal clients
My ideal client would be someone who is motivated to make positive change and is willing to attend weekly sessions. I care deeply about my clients and love to help victims of domestic violence/abuse, trauma survivors, address mood fluctuations, and work with couples. I also specialize in addiction healing.
Treatment methods
EMDR
I have used EMDR with hundreds of clients over the past 6 years and have received excellent reviews from clients regarding their changed ability to cope with life stressors and increased clarity about themselves and what they endured.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is a successful tool when used with clients who are though-based, strong in prefontal executive functioning.
