Toni Berghoff (She/Her)

Toni provides social communication, life skills, and executive functioning skill building for adolescents and adults diagnosed with Autism. Toni believes in strength based focused with this population along with grounding techniques.

I help clients learn coping skills to improve executive functioning, though: time management skills, stress management skills, prioritization, pre-plannin Toni likes to help clients learn some coping skills, life skills, and social skills. Toni likes to improve executive functioning through time management, anxiety around planning, stress management, pre-planning, and making goals/checklists.

I utilize CBT and narrative theory to better understand what the client may be going through. Depression cannot be fixed by a band-aid, but can get easier with empathy and building rapport.

This is a short-term, goal-oriented therapeutic approach that helps clients make changes by focusing on solutions rather than problems. SFT is based on the idea that people have the knowledge to improve their situation, and the therapist's role is to help them explore and put those solutions into action with their help. This approach is not fixing the problem, but rather a journey to explore together.

The goal we take is to aims the clients to develop a clearer understanding of themselves, increase self-esteem, and reduce distress. I create a safe space for the client to explore their feelings and gain self-awareness. I would act as a sounding board, reflecting and clarifying the client's questions for when they arise.

I use this therapy to help create time lines, and gives the client a chance to reflect on the past while they explore behaviors, emotions, and patterns. This therapeutic approach that helps people reframe negative narratives into more empowering ones. Narrative therapy encourages people to view themselves as the experts of their own lives
