How I work
I follow a two step approach:
First, to address the thinking that causes you to feel or act a certain way (depressed, overeat, angry).
Second, to address and facilitate healing of underlying emotions or beliefs (e.g. worthlessness, grief, shame, etc.).
In a safe environment, you can explore current or past issues as well as develop and practice new coping strategies that are life-enhancing.
Olimpia Etts, MSW, LCSW, ACH has offices in La Plata, which is located in Charles County (Southern Maryland).
