Can talking about problems really help? Sometimes a structured approach is useful, and at times talking by itself leaves a person’s life unchanged. I’m John Badenhausen, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Brick, New Jersey.
Hard or overwhelming experiences also involve the body, and the body has to be part of resolving them. I use a Solution-Focused approach, and we work together to find solutions and put a plan in place. If talking falls short, I turn to Somatic Experiencing, a body-based approach, or to Emotional Freedom Techniques, a meridian-based approach, for issues that talking does not resolve.
I work with individuals, couples and families. My work covers trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), family conflict and stress.
