If you are exploring Brightside, it is likely that you are wanting to make some changes in your life. Finding the right therapist to help you achieve your goals is important. Constance wants to provide you with information about her that will help you decide if her experience and style is right for you. She holds a Ph.D. in clinical social work and am dually licensed as both a clinical and macro social worker. She utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, that holds the belief that your thoughts, feelings and behavior all impact each other. She also utilizes a Strength Perspective (the things you are already good at) and multiple other theoretical perspectives to assist you in achieving your goals. Healing is a process and requires commitment, compassion, and non-judgment. She is passionate about meeting individuals (which means simply working on the goals you choose) and advocating for her clients. Her specialty is working with people experiencing depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma (physical, sexual, emotional, and medical). Someone once asked her how can you work with people in such pain and listen to all the horrible things people have endured. She responded by saying, "Oh, it's not like that! When I meet someone who is seeking counseling, I am meeting, someone who has already decided they want a change in their life. I am meeting someone who is stronger than they realize and someone who is willing to share with me their journey of healing and growing. I love watching someone learn about their strengths and seeing them create a life they love and deserve". It's an honor."
