Nadia Padurets, LMFT
Counselor for Teens & Families
Hi, I’m Nadia. I am Love Heal Grow’s Counseling’s teen, children, and family specialist.
The most important part of my professional philosophy is my clients are my priority.
I make sure that I provide my clients and their families with professional support and alliance in a safe space.
Your teen may be going through various challenges or adjustments in their lives which may include dissatisfaction with self-image and peer to peer or child-parent relationships.
During the therapy process, teens and their families have an opportunity to communicate and process their stressors and then explore their strengths and alternative options to develop a sense of hope, rebuild self-confidence, positive self-talk, and improve interaction with family members as well as with friends.
I use:
Person-Centered therapy, where I provide you and your child with place where you can communicate and process your present emotions, feelings, and thoughts with certainty that you are being understood and supported rather than judged.
Solution Focus Therapy, a tool that helps children, parents, couples, and families repair their distressed relationship, and gain greater awareness of their emotions. This model also provides individuals with strategies to effectively cope, regulate, and transform their emotions and feelings, while building tighter bonds with the people that matter most.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you learn how to recognize and change the automatic negative thoughts that negatively influence on mood and behavior.
If you feel like you’ve found yourself in a difficult situation of your life and don’t know how to deal with it on your own, please don’t hesitate to reach me out for professional help.
