Eric Covotta LMFT

In our first session I will do a psychosocial assessment so I can better understand your strengths, and areas of concern that we can work on during our therapy sessions. We will begin identifying what is important to you to address in our future sessions. We will than develop a treatment plan with your goals to improve the quality of your life, and how we can obtain those goals during our therapy sessions. We will identify your life stressors, substance use, past mental health (if any), physical health conditions that may be negatively affecting your mental health, and what you have previously tried to identify new strategies going forward so you can improve your personal relationships, and work life.

During our sessions I will work with you utilizing evidenced based practices of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solutions Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. With CBT I will help you learn how your thoughts affect your feelings and behaviors. With Solutions Focused Therapy we will explore different solutions that will work for you to improve your overall quality of life, and with motivational interviewing we will explore your motivation for seeking treatment at this time in your life, and continue that motivation through the process of therapy so you benefit from your time in therapy, and improve your overall quality of life.
