Giselle Sosa

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW

Hi, I am the founder and owner of Hope Instilled. 

I am so happy you are here! Regardless of what is bringing you into therapy there is nothing more important than uncovering what you believe to be true about yourself and your world. Your belief system directly impacts your perspectives, feelings, and interactions. In short, it impacts EVERYTHING. The journey to identifying and replacing negative, self-defeating beliefs is not easy but it is absolutely worth it because YOU ARE WORTH IT! Deep down you know that and that’s why you’re here. I welcome you and would be honored to walk along side of you on this journey!

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings.

The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. The therapist then helps the client modify those thoughts and the behaviors that flow from them. 

CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments. CBT has been clinically proven to help clients in a relatively short amount of time with a wide range of disorders, including depression and anxiety.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
 
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the treatment most closely associated with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). Therapists practice DBT in both individual and group sessions.
 
The therapy combines elements of CBT to help with regulating emotion through distress tolerance and mindfulness. 

The goal of Dialectical Behavior Therapy is to alleviate the intense emotional pain associated with BPD.
Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
 
Solution-focused therapy, sometimes called “brief therapy,” focuses on what clients would like to achieve through therapy rather than on their troubles or mental health issues.
 
The therapist will help the client envision a desirable future, and then map out the small and large changes necessary for the client to undergo to realize their vision. The therapist will seize on any successes the client experiences, to encourage them to build on their strengths rather than dwell on their problems or limitations.
Strength-Based
 
Strength-based therapy is a type of positive psychotherapy and counseling that focuses more on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, and less on weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings.
 
This focus sets up a positive mindset that helps you build on you best qualities, find your strengths, improve resilience and change worldview to one that is more positive. A positive attitude, in turn, can help your expectations of yourself and others become more reasonable.
