In June 2024, Counseling Connect welcomed Sivonna Stringham to our team of mental health clinicians. She works with adults and teens in individual therapy and is currently not accepting insurance. Here’s an introduction to Sivonna in her own words:
If you are suffering, know that you are not alone, as I am suffering with you; if you are celebrating, I am celebrating with you. Everyone goes through different seasons of our lives. Some bring joy and prosperity, while others bring sadness and loss. It’s only in times of struggle that we have the opportunity to grow. I work with clients who are open to a growth mindset and have the willingness to put in the energy to help themselves, as much as I do! When clients show up, that’s the first step towards healing. I enjoy a challenge and often take on clients that have gone through traumatic experiences, which created negative thinking and ineffective coping mechanisms. If you’re ready to change and create positive mechanisms, then I’m ready to work with you!
My counseling approach is based on meeting my clients where they are and affirming their identities. I work from a Humanistic and Postmodernist orientation in my practice, which means that I provide a space where my clients feel safe, seen, heard and understood. I also utilize techniques to help people reframe faulty thinking and develop positive and realistic beliefs about the self, others, and the world. I help people that are ready to break cycles that imprison them.
You are human and will never perfect. But the goal is progress, not perfection. Progress is not linear, so you will have ups and down. And I will be with you through every step of the process to remind you of your worth and encourage you to achieve your full potential. Let’s take the first step together!
