My name is Jasmine Foster, and I would like to commend you for reaching out to BetterHelp to embark on a journey of self-exploration, healing and recovery to cultivate a enriching and fulfilling life for yourself. The foundation of therapy encompasses the following tenets : safety, collaboration, authenticity, vulnerability, and willingness. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, I have collaborated to assist many individuals to meet their personal goals and address their concerns that are hindering them from living their most healthy and optimum lives. I am trained in ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) and am passionate about assisting individuals to reprocess their traumatic and distressing memories and experiences so they can recover and take control of their lives once again. I am also passionate about supporting individuals to explore healthier ways to cope with depression, stress, anxiety, phobias, and PTSD. My therapeutic approach is warm, authentic, and individualized, and I believe in tailoring my approach to the needs of the individual. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Somatic techniques, Psychodynamic theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness approaches to guide individuals to meet their treatment goals. Many of us struggle with engaging in unhelpful and destructive ways of coping due to the unresolved wounds and pain from our childhoods and traumas, and I am a firm believer in exploring one’s story to gain insight into the ‘why’ that shapes us to be the way we are so we can heal and be our most authentic selves and behave according to what we value most. If you are ready to live your most authentic life, I would consider it a privilege and honor to be apart of your recovery journey. I look forward to collaborating with you and guiding you to be one step closer to your most valued self.
