Collin Stanhope(He/Him/His)

My name is Collin Stanhope, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with adolescents and adults for over 7 years.

Many clients come to me having tried to work through something and now feel in the position that support or help feels necessary. This often means needing to care for themselves differently, and may mean addressing something they've been avoiding. Clients I've worked with are deeply introspective, balance their logical and emotional side, and are eager to understand their patterns and behaviors. Some are deeply resistance to being vulnerable, however they understand the need to try new things to get different results; and, they often want to live and feel better.

I use approaches like IFS, ACT, CBT, Mindfulness and the mind body connection to help you understand yourself better. I believe through awareness of the present moment you can notice your sensations, urges, emotions and thoughts, and through different approaches choose how you want to move in the world.

I've worked with many people with ADHD and use these approaches together. Creating time between something happening and your reaction is powerful, and through this you can be empowered to choose different responses to addictions, procrastination, overeating/overspending, or other reactions. I believe through these interventions, learning how to manage emotions, and practical skills it is possible to create new patterns and habits.
