About Blake Wallace, CSWA
Philosophy
I am dedicated to honoring your individuality and autonomy. We will delve into your emotional landscape, encompassing your feelings, aspirations, dreams, fantasies, thoughts, anxieties, fears, habits, secrets, and memories. We will work together to create a safe and trusting environment where we can explore your strengths and vulnerabilities together.
Expertise
With 15 years of dedicated leadership in the Coast Guard and three transformative years in mental health, I am profoundly committed to helping others heal and grow through a psychodynamic lens. Graduating with a Master of Social Work in 2024, my passion lies in creating a safe and nurturing space where clients may bravely explore unconscious motivations, deepest emotions, and past experiences. Under the expert supervision of a seasoned licensed clinical social worker, I focus on uncovering the root causes of distress and fostering deep, lasting change. My mission is to guide you in discovering your inner strength and understanding your inner world, enabling you to navigate life’s challenges with insight and resilience.
Approach
I utilize a psychodynamic approach, focusing on understanding the unconscious processes and past experiences that shape current behavior and emotions. This method helps clients gain deeper insight into their internal world, fostering meaningful and lasting change. Additionally, I integrate concepts from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), incorporating practical techniques to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors effectively. By combining these approaches, I aim to create a comprehensive and personalized therapeutic experience that addresses both the underlying issues and the immediate challenges, empowering clients to achieve their goals and enhance their well-being.
