As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Belva works with adults from all walks of life. She employs a client centered approach, using evidence based therapies to assist individuals in finding meaning and value in their lives. She shares her knowledge of different skills, techniques and practices to help clients feel more in charge of their own well being, even if external circumstances cannot be changed. Examples of this would include personal health issues, loss of loved ones, aging as well as life style and environmental changes. She believes that the heart of therapy is the client:clinician relationship which is non-judgmental and supportive. 

In therapy you will have the opportunity to share some of your background and experiences, your perception of the issues you are dealing with and to develop goals for your therapy.  Belva will use her extensive knowledge of different evidence based therapies to offer ways your goals might be achieved, to perhaps develop new stress management and coping skills and to have more awareness of your own strengths and abilities.
