An atmosphere to help facilitate your mental health and wellbeing.
Smiler Overton uses CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) as the structure he follows. This approach provides a concise and clear framework backed by extensive research. He helps his clients process their situation in a non-judgmental atmosphere and collaborates with them in designing interventions that help them implement appropriate mental health strategies. He also pulls from several somatic therapeutic techniques to help clients use a trauma-informed perspective to tie in opportunities to help them learn from their own body wisdom. For his couple’s work, he leans into several Narrative therapy techniques to help couples improve communication patterns and develop awareness around what effective support looks like. He acknowledges the land of the T'Sou-ke Nation and SENĆOŦEN-speaking peoples whose traditional territory. I'm a professional member of the Canadian Counsellor's Psychological Association. My CCC number is: 11245940.
A Client-Directed Approach
It’s essential to listen to each client carefully and tailor interventions to meet their specific needs. My role is to share my expertise of the counseling field to help the client address what it is that they want/need to explore in their therapeutic journey.
What to expect…
The services I provide follow a Cognitive Behavioural Framework. We will use an evidence-based approach to gather information about the client’s situation. We will examine the client’s thoughts, feelings, behaviour and body reactions to build upon the client’s understanding of their situation and develop appropriate intervention strategies to move forward with their situation. Each session will begin with a check-in, then a follow-up with the client’s current presenting concern. Near the end of the session, the client and therapist will collaborate on specific homework to focus on in the upcoming week to reinforce the clients discoveries.
