My Approach to Helping

Life can be a very difficult road to haul, but nobody said you have to do it alone. In the world, we have doctors, teachers, all kinds of people that help us along the way it only makes sense to have somebody to help you process through difficulties in life. Hello, my name is Justice Arledge I have been working in this field since 2009 I also have my Masters degree in mental health counseling. I have more than 10 years of experience helping people work through the many unpleasantries that we find in our everyday life. I have helped people work through trauma, depression, and PTSD. I have worked both with adolescents and adults. My goal as a counselor is to put you back in the driver seat get you to a point in your life where you can make decisions and trust yourself. Help you to make and achieve long-term goals and to walk through life proudly and loving who you are. We all struggle with something, but my goal is to help you find positive voices that can defeat the negative voices.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Seeking help is hard, but it is also one of the best things you can do for your life’s journey and the people that are apart of it. I Think of it this way, if you had a broken leg you would not run a marathon before healing with the help of a doctor. Every day you are running the marathon of your life by trying to get along day today. You could be struggling with anxiety, depression or any other issues with mental health. Seeking a therapist or counselor for your mental health is no different than seeing a doctor if you had that broken leg. My Approach to Counselling and Therapy This is a question that is difficult to answer because there are so many wonderful tools out there. Below are some of the theories that I do lean towards. I consider myself a cognitive-behavioral therapist. I use a lot of elements from other theories, One of my favorite techniques is reality testing and exposure therapy.

Techniques I Use

Issues I Treat

Specialties

  • Learning Disorder External link

    Living with a learning disability as I do myself, can be challenging. Individuals struggling with learning disabilities can experience anger, frustration, shame, and low self-esteem. Speaking to a therapist about your feelings can be very helpful. A therapist can help individuals understand that although learning disabilities are lifelong and many methods of help including support are available.

  • PTSD External link

    Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder caused by severe trauma. This trauma could have been anything from a car accident to experiencing combat. This trauma has rewired your brain to where you are always on the lookout for things to go wrong. Therapy can help the individual suffering from PTSD by helping them through some of their emotions and thoughts.

  • Anxiety External link

    Anxiety is the normal healthy fear that we have about everyday things we find in life. Anxiety could also be that paralyzing persistent fear that cripples us and holds us back from achieving our life goals. Therapy helps the client work through some of their thoughts and will help a person be more aware of them self as well as how life affects them.

  • ADHD External link

    People who have struggled with learning differences (learning disabilities) may have been shamed, talked down to, and humiliated. When you were younger, you may have been told that you were lazy, and you may have even been made fun of by some of your friends or peers. These types of events in your life can cause you to have low self-esteem, low self-worth, and create other challenges that follow.

  • Depression External link

    Depression can be so severe even getting out of bed may seem impossible. Depression can be caused by biological issues as well as many other issues including anxiety. Working with the therapist can help you take comfortable easy steps to combat your depression.
