Van is a Licensed Professional Counselor.
He is a marriage and family therapist and have been actively working with individuals, couples and families for nearly eight years in that role. He utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as the backbone of his services, working with some DBT and CBITS modalities to deal with trauma and processing errors. He has been married thirty eight years and raised four children to adulthood. He currently have six grandchildren and live in the mountains of Idaho. He enjoys engaging in the discussion of what makes us our best self and returning to what is my source of strength and individual worth.
"We can discover together, how you can capitalize on that strength and use it to restore and nourish crucial relationships. By reviewing decision making driven by thinking errors, we identify behaviors and emotions that are destructive or debilitating. In couples and family therapy, we work to find ways that we tend to sabotage ourselves, other relationships and inadvertently set ourselves up to fail. While doing this we identify the impact of such behavior and plan for how to change habits or eliminate negative tendencies. Restoring joy to the heart and mind of those who have lost that spark or are finding it difficult to get past traumatic events or relationships, can bring a sense of hope and self-accomplishment that will energize ourselves and others. With courage, commitment and effort, this can be done!"
