Eunice Waithaka
LMHCA
I am Eunice, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (LMHCA). I believe that everybody has an inherent capacity to solve their own problems but needs a little facilitation to achieve their desired therapeutic goals. The pain of mental health challenges, coupled with life demands, can be overwhelming. I have experience working with adults, adolescents and immigrants experiencing adjustment to life changes, loses, grief, server mental health illness and developmental disabilities.
The therapeutic approach I mainly utilize includes Trauma-informed Care (TIC), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive- Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The TIC considers the complex impact of trauma on an individual's well-being and how it shapes a person's ability to cope. The ACT approach helps an individual to stay focused on the present moment and accept thoughts and feelings without judgment. It aims to help a person move forward through difficult emotions and put their energy into healing instead of dwelling on the negative. The CBT approach helps to recognize negative thoughts and behavior patterns. Aiming to help identify and explore the ways emotions and thoughts can influence both positive and negative action.
I value supporting people in their recovery journey with compassion, acceptance and warm positive regard. Looking forward to supporting you in your recovery journey.
