Rebecca McWhorter, LCSW # 87376 has experience with all age groups within many multicultural settings. I start with where the patient is, should they be suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, and/or grief. My practice focuses on patient care.
My approach
Utilize many different approaches to healing. I prefer to let the patient vocalize their needs rather than tailor a patient to a plan.
My focus
Depends on where the patient is in their recovery. If folks want to do intense guided therapy, we can go that route. If they respond better to a solution-focused session, we can start there. Basically, I let the patient dictate the tempo of their mental health care.
My communication style
I like to focus on the primary stressors in the patients' life that are having an immediate impact before moving into long-term goals.
My journey to mental healthcare
I started out by working with at-risk youth just before college. I continued my outreach to struggling groups and individuals, which led me to Social Work. Telehealth has allowed me to expand my practice into many new areas with new challenges that keep me driven to do this work.
My goals for you
I like to focus on the primary stressors in the patients' life that are having an immediate impact before moving into long-term goals.
My first session with you
My first session will generally start with some "housekeeping" or information the patient should be aware of, depending on their previous exposure to mental health services. Next is an initial assessment to better understand how the patient arrived at this point in their life and where they would like to go next.
