Services offered: Mental health education

It is my belief that everyone has suffered from a mood disturbance at one time or another in their life and especially when connected to a major life circumstance or change in their life. I use a cognitive/behavioral approach which is interactive/educational when working with my clinical clients. However because part of my practice is working with people going through divorce and custody issues, I am also a mediator and use these skills in conjunction with my clinical skills to assist families in ideally arriving to a desired goal by working collaboratively in the decision making process. 

I pride myself on my past experiences which have led to my unique therapeutic style.  Specifically, I am a woman who has experienced many hardships, including raising two grandchildren. Having a firsthand experience in anything or experience in life provides additional insights that only can be had by a person who has had that similar experience.

With a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling, Season has been in private practice as a psychotherapist and behavior consultant for 6 years and in the counseling field for 18 years. In addition to individual and relationship therapy, for the last 5 years she has been working as a court-appointed therapist for the Delaware County family court system conducting co-parenting counseling and reunification therapy for those in need. Season has a passion for the family system and focuses on the individual needs of each client and how that affects the bigger family unit.
