Paul Basenfelder LCSW Teletherapy Services

As a therapist, I mainly work from a humanistic orientation, meaning that I maintain unconditional positive regard for my clients, regardless of the circumstances of their lives or how they view themselves in terms of their self-esteem. I keep empathy and affirmation in high regard, as adolescents are fighting a battle for their newfound identities, and they need extra support to champion their coming of age. Adolescents are also particularly vulnerable to the onset of various mental health conditions, so intervention is crucial at this age. I combine my humanistic orientation with my knowledge of various conditions and challenges to treat clients. Also, as a masters-level clinician, I possess a solid working knowledge of human behavior, emotions, various mental disorders, family dynamics, relationship dynamics, adolescent mental health, culturally-influenced clinical challenges, addictions, trauma, grief, self-care, spirituality/existential issues, etc. I have a talent for communicating with clients to help them realize greater treatment outcomes. My greatest strength as a therapist has been my ability to integrate clinical theory with my natural healing sensibilities in order to gain clients’ trust and achieve therapeutic breakthroughs.
