Young Adults
Dear new client,
I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take a moment to express my genuine care and understanding for what you’re going through. I can totally relate to feeling depressed, like drowning in the ocean, lost and uncertain, like you’re just hanging on to life, supported by a life jacket, with the waves gently moving up and down over you. It’s a tough feeling, and I want you to know that you’re not alone.
The goal is to find contentment, purpose, and understanding. We can work together to navigate through this journey, embracing the ups and downs (whether life’s curveballs, depression, or anxiety) like waves. I believe in you and your ability to find the strength to get to the shore.
I’m an authentic and skilled psychologist who genuinely cares about helping you become the best version of yourself. I’m here to empathically listen, support, and guide you on this path of self-discovery and resilience.
Growth is a continuous process, and I’m ready to grow alongside you. We can take this journey/literal walk together as I offer walk and talk therapy. I’m excited to meet you and start this new chapter in your life.
My quote is “Life is change, growth is optional, choose wisely.” By choosing therapy with me you are choosing growth!
Looking forward to meeting you soon!
Dr. Bauer
Parents of Children/Teens
Hello there, Parents!
I know things can be tough sometimes as your relationship with your child shifts, you doubt your parenting, or your child might act out, and I’m here to listen. If you’re feeling frustrated or lost with your child, know you’re not alone.
I understand that the disconnect between you and your child might have been going on for a while or just happened recently. You might not know exactly what’s causing it, but you can do something about it.
The key is to ask yourself, “How can I help?” instead of, “Why have things changed?” This can help you see things from a different angle.
I totally get what you’re going through as I am a parent of three children and have worked with kids in my private practice since 2012, and I’m here to support you and your child however I can. Seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. I believe you have your child’s best interest at heart and you can find the help you need to create a better understanding of what’s happening and get your child the support they need. It’s okay to reach out for help. These modalities allow me to meet clients where they are and create a personalized, supportive space to explore challenges and build resilience.
I help children with low confidence who might feel nervous in social settings create meaningful relationships and feel better about themselves. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma Focused CBT for children to process trauma. For younger children, I use Play Therapy and for older children, I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and to address social anxiety, loneliness, or disconnected relationships. Furthermore, for older children and teens, I offer other therapy tools like walk and talk and yoga-based approaches to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and mind-body connection.
Together, we can work through whatever challenges you’re facing and find empowerment, peace, and connections. I’m here to listen, support, and guide you and your child on this journey. Reach out if you need anything. If I can support you in creating more peace in your child's life and in your family's life, please contact me.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bauer
