Hello, my name is John Abad, LCPC. I work with ages 5+, adolescents, and adults. My focus areas are Anxiety, Coping Skills, Emotional Disturbance, Parenting, and Stress. I believe in utilizing my preference in various modalities and focusing on developing talents and interests. Compared to the average therapist, I am very eclectic and often apply various psychological theories in my practice. I also have various years of experience in clinical supervision and outpatient managerial positions, as I have been a multi-program director for several years. Theories/theorists I know about = CBT, Psychoanalysis, object-relations, schema therapy, Dabrowski, Broffenbrenner, Sternberg’s love triangle, Maslow, Bowlby+Ainsworth, Festinger, Nassim Taleb, Jungian, motivational interviewing, Prochaska, Mahler’s stages, Kubler-Ross, Bowlby not just with Ainsworth, etc. Also, I am a U.S. Marine infantry veteran, A 1/4 raiders, OEF and OIF. Honorable discharge.

I’m usually directive but will be open to your requests regarding where to take the session. I am confident in my knowledge, which shows in sessions when I try to persuade you of something I find evidence-based. At the same time, I allow free debate and agenda setting. I encourage patient honesty. I respect critical thinking and honesty driven free thought from myself and my patient.

What to expect at first? I must gather primary general mental health data and create a treatment plan. Thus, I would ask about mental health history, social support network, expectations about therapy, confidentiality, and more. I use simple practice as my EHR, and thus, will send out a link upon availability.
Bilingual (Spanish and English ) Psychotherapist and CEO

===============================

Hola, mi nombre es John Abad, LCPC. Trabajo con personas de 5 años en adelante, adolescentes y adultos. Mis áreas de enfoque son Ansiedad, Habilidades de Afrontamiento, Trastornos Emocionales, Crianza y Estrés. Creo en utilizar mi preferencia por varias modalidades y enfocarme en desarrollar talentos e intereses. Comparado con el terapeuta promedio, soy muy ecléctico y con frecuencia aplico diversas teorías psicológicas en mi práctica.

También tengo varios años de experiencia en supervisión clínica y en puestos de gestión ambulatoria, ya que he sido director de múltiples programas durante varios años.

Teorías/teóricos que conozco: TCC, Psicoanálisis, Relaciones Objetales, Terapia de Esquemas, Dabrowski, Bronfenbrenner, Triángulo del amor de Sternberg, Maslow, Bowlby + Ainsworth, Festinger, Nassim Taleb, Jung, Entrevista Motivacional, Prochaska, Etapas de Mahler, Kübler-Ross, Bowlby no solo con Ainsworth, etc.

Además, soy veterano de infantería de la Marina de los Estados Unidos, A 1/4 Raiders, OEF y OIF. Recibí una baja honorable.

Generalmente soy directivo, pero estaré abierto a tus solicitudes respecto a hacia dónde llevar la sesión. Confío en mi conocimiento, lo cual se refleja en las sesiones cuando intento persuadirte de algo que considero basado en evidencia. Al mismo tiempo, permito el debate libre y la definición conjunta de la agenda. Fomento la honestidad del paciente. Respeto el pensamiento crítico y la libertad de pensamiento honesto, tanto de mí como de mi paciente.

¿Qué esperar al inicio? Debo recopilar datos generales primarios de salud mental y crear un plan de tratamiento. Por lo tanto, preguntaría sobre historial de salud mental, red de apoyo social, expectativas sobre la terapia, confidencialidad y más.

Utilizo SimplePractice como mi sistema de registros electrónicos (EHR), por lo que enviaré un enlace en cuanto haya disponibilidad.

Psicoterapeuta bilingüe (español e inglés) y Director Ejecutivo (CEO).
