Bernard Ivin, Strength for Change LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
After nearly two decades in private practice, what I have learned most is that the human spirit is strong, resilient, and capable of greatness. It is this knowledge that keeps me eternally optimistic. Given the opportunity, I will do everything in my power to help you discover this truth for yourself.
I help clients overcome depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and other life difficulties in the pursuit of living more successful and happy lives. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The goal of CBT is to teach clients how to become their own therapist, capable of using a variety of coping strategies to effectively manage their feelings and reactions. Clients learn a system for restructuring negative thought, generating self-motivation, and changing unhealthy behaviors.
I am committed to providing clients with the highest quality of care and service possible. This is not just a slogan that appears on my letterhead, but rather a self-imposed expectation that I strive to achieve every counseling session. This is evident in many ways including the numerous positive reviews provided by current and past clients.

Roland Achtau
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCADC, MAPC
Due to the sensitive nature of addiction, it is important to seek help from someone who understands. Having had my own personal recovery experience, I understand and relate to the challenges of maintaining one's recovery. I give specialized attention to each client I serve by treating him or her holistically and offering him or her an umbrella of complimentary services. Recovery is about treating the person, not just the addiction.

Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
I limit my practice to a few clients with whom I can offer meaningful help. I do not think it is ethical for a psychologist to agree to work with someone who has a problem outside of their expertise or someone who has barriers that the psychologist suspects they cannot overcome. When I conclude that I can help someone, I collaborate with them while applying the most appropriate methods for their problems. I choose these methods from among the many I have studied or developed. This is sometimes called a Transdiagnostic Integrative technique. Here, a clinical label or diagnosis is less important than the unique collection of symptoms a person is living with. I also make sure that I come to understand the client's point of view, how their adversities, their personal philosophy, and their level of suffering combine to lead to their anxiety, depressed mood, or even anger. When the client agrees, I prefer to use psychological testing to be sure my assessment of the client's situation is supported by the best available science. When I conduct psychotherapy, I know it can only be effective when I view the client as presenting many intricate problems that must be fully understood, so each client's issues are approached as scientific hypotheses that guide therapy, which guide my specific interventions, but is always open to revision as new life history information or psychological data becomes available.
Since I have trained numerous therapists and continue researching and publishing in the field, my clients are assured they receiving the most effective evidence-based interventions. If you do see me, you can be confident that you will be unconditionally accepted in a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship with every effort being made to help you.
