General Info:
My name is Nathan Terey MA TLLP AODA, and I am a clinical psychotherapist. I started Mindful Improvement with the hope to promote individual well-being through an eclectic style of psychotherapy; I adjust my techniques based on your unique personality characteristics. My goal is to help enhance the lifestyles of people, like yourself, who struggle with a broad spectrum of conflict in their lives. Most importantly I help people to live in the present moment-in the here-and-now.
Let me tell you a little more about myself and the way I practice at Mindful Improvement. I have worked in the mental health field for 6 years. I have accumulated over 12,000 hours in sessions with clients. The populations I have served have been diverse ranging from children 5 years of age to the elderly in their 80’s. I have provided treatment to those suffering with grief to those experiencing relationship conflicts. I have also spent some of my time working with those who live with severe mental illness such as schizophrenia and bipolar to those who live with high levels of anxiety and low self-esteem. Within the realm of group psychotherapy I have facilitated addictions, anger management, domestic violence, and interpersonal psychotherapy groups.
My first goal for any client I see is to establish trust within our relationship. I do this by accepting you for who you are-without judgment and bias. I will work at your pace and don't rush you. "You" are someone who is going to work hard in therapy. It is my responsibility to be open and honest with you (even if you have a hard time accepting my feedback) and I expect the same from you during our sessions. You will get out of therapy what you put in. If you work hard you will experience immense changes in your life.
I value the diverse cultures, lifestyles and belief systems of every client I provide psychotherapy services to. You will be treated with fairness, dignity and respect throughout our time spent together. I value your access to high quality and effective mental health services and therefore am willing to work within your budget to make psychotherapy affordable.
