Tabitha Rupard LPC

During our first session we will explore what brought you to therapy and discuss your background, as well as collaborate on a plan for how we will work together by setting goals for therapy. During our ongoing sessions we will continue to monitor your progress towards those goals and address any barriers to meeting those goals. I will work with you on a collaborative and unique treatment plan to address your needs and work to use our time in the most effective way possible.

As I mentioned before I primarily work from a Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) focus where we will explore your thinking patterns and how they affect your worldview and impact your behaviors, I also utilize other theories as well. I also engage in mindfulness where we will focus on bring your attention and focus to the present moment to allow you to focus on the here and now. I am also familiar with solution-focused practices where we will work together to focus on solutions rather than problems. This type of therapy will help you focus on your strengths and engage in self-development and personal growth. I also engage in a person-centered approach which focuses on you being the expert in your life and I as the therapist am a source of guidance and support to help guide you towards your goals.
