Blankenship Counseling can provide teens with a supportive, nonjudgmental space to better understand their emotions and develop healthy ways of coping with stress and life’s challenges. Through therapy, teens can learn important skills for managing anxiety, building self-esteem, improving communication, creating healthy relationships, and gaining confidence in who they are becoming.
Therapy for Adults
Blankenship Counseling provides support, guidance, and insight for young adults and adults. Life is difficult, but you don’t have to face your obstacles alone. Regardless of what brings you to counseling, we’ll collaborate to identify ways to help you reach your goals.
“Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.”
-Fred Rogers
I utilize an eclectic approach to counseling, while regularly incorporating these evidence-based modalities.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a practical, goal-oriented approach to therapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. CBT helps clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop healthier ways of thinking, and build effective coping skills that can be applied in everyday life. Through concrete strategies and actionable steps, CBT empowers clients to create meaningful change, improve emotional well-being, and achieve lasting results.
DBT is a skills-based approach that helps clients build emotional balance, self-awareness, and healthy coping strategies. DBT focuses on mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help clients better understand and respond to their emotions. By learning practical tools to calm both the mind and body, clients can develop greater emotional control, improve relationships, and create a stronger sense of stability and well-being.
Art therapy is a creative and expressive therapeutic approach that uses activities such as painting, drawing, clay work, collage, and creative writing to help clients explore emotions, process life experiences, and build self-awareness. Creative expression can help individuals communicate thoughts and feelings that may be difficult to put into words, making art therapy especially helpful for processing trauma, reducing stress, and promoting emotional healing.
