Breaking Down Patterns

Behaviors become habitual over time. Most of us know this, but we often fail to recognize these patterns in ourselves. It’s when these patterns lock us into toxic or otherwise harmful patterns that they become dangerous.

Ms. Barone works with each client to explore their experiences to better identify these patterns and understand where they come from. This approach puts you, not any diagnoses, center stage. It also aids in identifying your strengths, which you’ll use as part of counseling.

Your Lived Experience

Those new to therapy are sometimes concerned that the process is about fitting them into a predefined box. Ms. Barone recognizes and respects your lived experience; however, this naturally results in a responsive and individualized approach. There’s no “one size fits all” approach here.
