By allowing a 15–20-minute call to discuss your needs, you can gain a greater understanding of our practice and clinician availability and allow you to make an informed decision if you choose to move forward with therapeutic supports. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622236265078b7560c748fa8/adeafb64-53ee-41c3-b713-2a7de85d22ad/get+2.png Getting Started - Step 2 - Complete Consent Documents in the Client Portal Once you decide to move forward with support, we will email a link to our client portal to complete necessary questionnaires, consents, and credit payment authorization to begin services.

The initial sessions provide an opportunity for you to determine whether you feel comfortable and safe. We will also be further assessing whether our practice is best to meet your or your child’s individual needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622236265078b7560c748fa8/224de7e4-9f21-48f1-9dc0-9c9728685cb2/nick-fewings-732DEF5f6iU-unsplash.jpg Getting Started - Step 4 - Ongoing Sessions During ongoing services, therapeutic interventions will be provided to address your goals and needs.

Douglas Gotel, LICSW, RPT-S (he/his) Founder and Therapist Accepts Self Pay Men’s Issues, Anxiety/Life Transitions, Trauma, Grief & Loss, Children and Adolescents I’m a country boy at heart. Originally from Georgia, I moved to Washington, DC to purse a graduate degree in social work after I found my passion for helping people when my first career in marketing failed to inspire me. I became a therapist to honor the suffering of one of my relatives who lost two young children and could not get adequate mental health care in the small town where we grew up. I own my intersections. I am a man, I am black, I am gay, I am a partner, I am a son, I am a brother, I am a mentor, I am a project manager, I am a business owner, I am a social worker, play therapist and a trauma specialist. These parts of me help create a safe and relatable space for you. Using a what I call Thrive Alchemy™ (a mix of symbol work, art, mindfulness, thinking strategies and a touch of “real”), I help queer and heterosexual men of color, women of color, and youth of diverse backgrounds to show up in their lives as the best version of themselves. In all life domains that are the focus of our work together, I will help you or your child(ren) to gain new insights, bolster your strengths and abilities and build adaptive strategies to cope with life’s challenges and changes. https://www.gotelandthrive.com/services daily 0.75 2024-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/622236265078b7560c748fa8/420c8b1d-c6ef-4f44-b9de-d8bc281afa39/service-1-transformed.jpeg Services - Individual Therapy Therapy gives you a safe space to voice the things that have been troubling you and the opportunity to find new ways to do things.
