About Me
Great to meet you, and I am happy that you're here.
​
My name is Helon Belton. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, as well as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I have worked with numerous populations - including veterans, people with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and self-esteem issues.
​
I have been working in the field of professional counseling since 2020. I utilize an integrative approach adapted to your specific needs - this will enable you to achieve your desired outcome during treatment. I apply EMDR to help clients break through the emotional blocks that get in the way of living an adaptive, emotionally healthy life. I use DBT to show how to live in the moment and regulate emotions. And I incorporate CBT to help identify (and challenge) negative thought patterns.
​
In addition, I provide group therapy using the Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) approach. This is an evidence-based, step-by-step treatment model for group therapy. Participants in MRT groups often work on self-reflection, goal-setting, and skill-building to promote positive moral development and facilitate lasting change.

My Philosophy
As a therapist, I value creating a safe space to provide counseling support that looks at the whole person. It is important to reset and restore ourselves in order to regain control of our lives, and learn to live the life we desire.
I utilize a person-centered approach that leaves you in charge. Using this person-centered approach means that we go at your pace in therapy. As a therapist I merely guide you on your journey of self-discovery, transformation and healing; and am there to support you in finding the solutions you have been seeking.

What to Expect
From Counseling Sessions
Through friendliness and genuine presence - I prioritize providing a safe, confidential space where you can speak freely about your deepest issues and challenges without judgment.
​
During our first session (also called the initial intake) we will identify areas of concern and collaboratively devise a plan towards healing and thriving.
​
After each therapy session we will debrief, and at the start of the next session we will check-in to gauge the status of progress towards treatment goals.
