Mason VanRossum, LPC-IT
Licensed Professional Counselor-In Training
“
My philosophy as a counselor starts with giving every individual the acceptance, care and understanding they deserve. I find a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Feminist Theory, Inner Child Work, Attachment Theory, and a solutions-focused approach can help my patients work through past and present inner struggles, feel that they authentically have worth, and deserve love and happiness. By bringing unconscious struggles and beliefs into one’s awareness, I truly believe that as the primary experts in their lives, patients can develop understanding toward themselves and learn how to better navigate their day-to-day lives.
I also believe my role as a counselor is to see each patient’s individuality and humanity, show them my genuine self, acknowledge and understand majority identities, and be a fierce advocate for them in and outside of the therapeutic space.
Patients can expect a laid back, understanding and accepting atmosphere where they can show up as their authentic self. They can expect a transparent, collaborative process in which they have the power to navigate and direct their own experience. I truly believe the patient is the expert of their own experience and I will be there to help them navigate, process and learn about any situation that may be causing distress."
