About

Hello, I am Adam Colson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Therapist. I have worked with people of all ages, from children as young as 10 to adults as old as 65. I am 60-years-old, so I've lived long enough to help many people and to see a lot of what life can offer us, both positive and negative. I am a straight man, married, and have over 10 years of clinical social work and therapy experience. My approach I have an eclectic approach. That is, I utilizes different modalities with different clients, depending on what is best for them personally. Often I use what's called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). My focus I have experience helping a wide variety of clients with stress and anxiety, depression, dating and relationships, couples therapy, family conflicts, parenting issues, and anger management. I will tailor your treatment plan to meet your unique needs. My communication style I work from my home office and have a casual, friendly relationship with my clients. I mostly listen at first and am a good listener and note taker. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had desire to help people and have almost always worked in helping fields such as social work and teaching. As a social worker, I was initially very passionate about helping unhoused people and later moved on to providing psychotherapy for adults, children, and families. Like many people, I have overcome my own mental health and substance struggles and thus have a great desire to help others overcome theirs. My goals for you The most important thing about your treatment goals are that they are YOURS, not ones I choose for you. I do, however, help you focus on and prioritize your goals. Whenever possible, I like to use S.M.A.R.T. goals, which stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound. My first session with you I take a complete Bio, Psycho, Social history concentrating on you physical health, your mental health.
