Blake Crawford

My Therapy Approach is from a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) perspective. This means I help you to become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking and equip you with the ability to challenge difficult situations/life stressors in effective ways. My aim is NOT to keep you in therapy forever; rather to empower you to be self-sufficient with feeling confident and competent in your abilities to navigate frustrating, and even triggering, stressors that pop up during life. My role as your therapist is to be in the passenger seat while you are in the driver seat; however, from time to time, I may need to step on the brakes to ensure we are going at a safe pace and to ensure you are getting the most out of therapy. Typically, we will meet once weekly, with the first session being an assessment, pinpointing/understanding the areas that are causing you the most difficulty. From there, we will develop the treatment goal(s) to ensure we are addressing your current treatment needs. Then, in each session after that, we will focus on that/those goal(s) until the goal(s) have been resolved.
