HI everyone, my name is Becky Singer, and I have been in private practice for 27 years! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a National Certified Addictions Professional.
Although I work with all populations, I tend to get many referrals for teenagers and young adults. My motto has always been “bring me the most difficult teen”. I have been blessed with a unique ability to see underneath their behaviors and get a better understanding of their pain and suffering. I do find that most of my clients continue with me after initial appointments, even the most resistant teenagers. I think part of this is because they recognize I am interested in helping them, listening to them and not judging them. I genuinely ALWAYS want to know more about them.
Sadly, I have worked with several adults who have lost children as well as clients who have had tremendous pain severe depression, PTSD, sexual trauma and medical issues.
My approach is clearly eclectic, however I have been trained in many different types of therapy approaches including mindfulness-based therapies, behavioral, co-dependency, interpersonal and eating disorder treatments. I am a very strong advocate of 12 step programs, however I am also aware when someone has an addiction they may be in denial, and not ready to address the issue. So, quite often when working with someone in active addiction, I will ask a client to attend some 12 step meetings first and then return to therapy. A key component of my therapeutic approach is asking the right questions in order to evaluate which therapy techniques are useful for each individual client. My clients have often expressed to me that they feel we are "fighting the fight" together and they are not alone. My compassion and unconditional acceptance of others allows clients to immediately feel comfortable disclosing painful events and feelings without judgment. My goal is not to keep people in therapy, but to teach them valuable tools to address their issues and develop other support systems outside of therapy.
I am a strong believer in accountability and the premise that we can’t change others, but can change ourselves. I support clients in moving from a “victim” place to a place of empowerment. When they are ready, I do ask them to look at their own I do ask them to look at their own behaviors in relation to others. I never plan my sessions because staying in the moment and being fully engaged with my client can often change the course of treatment. I have been known to do things differently than other therapists. For example I may request permission of a parent to allow my teen client to bring in their boyfriend, or bring in a best friend for a session. Seeing things through other perspectives can be very helpful to the therapeutic process.
