Zelda Hines LPC

During times of difficulties, it is hard for us to realize the unlimited, unsurpassing ability that lies within us to conquer and overcome any challenge that comes our way. Every human being wants to know his/her "purpose" the path that has already been prepared and waiting to be discovered; however, life happens. None of us are exempted, but the good news is that you can learn to live life on purpose and find joy day to day! In my sessions, my aim is to guide you in uncovering the root cause contributing to your unhappiness, worries, anger, and unhealthy behaviors whether you are a parent with young children or teens or for yourself. My vision of wellness is wholeness in spirit, mind, and body. I target all three areas of an individual to have nothing missing and nothing broken.

As stated earlier, our mind is the "control center" of our life. It governs every aspect of an individual. In my sessions, my preferred method of treatment is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT is often the preferred type of psychotherapy because it can quickly help a person identify and cope with specific challenges and has proven to have a strong empirical base among treatments. This approach is effective for all ages. Especially parents, if your child is experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, the list goes on. It is all centered around unhealthy thinking patterns which can be changed if the person wants to change. My techniques include; journaling, unraveling cognitive distortions, cognitive restructuring, exposure/response prevention, and Christian-accommodative(upon request).
