Adam Lenker LPC

Someone might choose to work with me if you feel motivated to find/reconnect with your own power, which may have become blocked and/or covered up, as they have moved through seasons of life. Establishing or reconnecting with this core power begins by working collaboratively as partners on a team, to be seen and heard as individuals, to have lived experience validated, in order to help restore and empower control over what we can control, and find the patience to learn to deal with and accept that which we cannot directly control. Areas of clinical expertise include chemical dependency, stress and anger management, life adjustments, veterans’ issues, intimate and non-intimate partner abuse, crisis prevention and intervention, long-term illnesses and palliative counseling.

My theoretical foundation is that of being a Person-Centered therapist. As I see it and have experienced it, the person reaching out is at the center of the situation, and therefore possesses far more of the questions (and answers!) to the challenges they face, than may be believed. I also identify strongly, both professionally and personally, with the ideas found within Existential Theory. There is much of our experience we cannot control, but much of our inner strength and resolve comes when we can identify the power that lies within the choices we make, and how we can experience different results by making choices that more closely align with our goals, beliefs and/or values. I integrate both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions, as well as mindfulness-based interventions.
