Beth's Specialties and Approaches:
Beth C. Kincaid, MEd, NCC, LCMHC strives to provide a private, informal and comfortable office setting where her clients can expect to be treated with respect and dignity while receiving unbiased/ non-judgemental help in facing life's challenges through support that will lead to more clarity, strength and inspiration. She specializes in work with children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. Some of her special interests include: Self esteem, career/work issues, life transitions, aging issues, stress and anger management issues, women’s issues, LGBTQ issues, eating disorders, addiction issues, behavioral/conduct disorders, obsessive compulsive disorders, life coaching, Autism/Asperger issues, assertiveness training, parenting and relationship skills training, marital and pre-marital or divorce issues, depression, anxiety, grief/loss, dependency; emotional, sexual and physical abuse, trauma, Bipolar/Borderline Personality issues and/or ADHD. She takes a humanistic approach to therapy through a variety of approaches and techniques to include: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy/CBT (changing one's thought patterns in order to change their behaviors and emotional states), Psychodynamic Therapy (clients discover their true feelings so that they experience them and understand them), Dialectical Behavior Therapy/DBT (proven life skills training to help clients learn: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Distress tolerance and Emotion Regulation Skills) and Positive Psychology (promoting the identification of one's strengths and the use of those strengths to create a happy, optimistic, satisfying life that creates a sense of self-fulfillment), to name a few...assuming that all people can change and grow and take responsibility for their present decisions and actions despite difficulties they have faced in the past. In dealing with children, she uses play therapy, providing children a safe outlet to communicate and/or work out their feelings through play. In treating school-related problems, she offers pragmatic strategies to help students focus—strategies, such as students’ learning to predict and record how many times a teacher will say a specific word, or students’ imagining themselves living in the time period the class is studying. Beth says that her goal is to help her clients—children, adolescent or adult—learn to practice mindfulness, to help them figure out what they are feeling, what they truly want, and how best to get what they want without offending others. What therapy can ultimately offer if the client is willing to work for it, she says is: “peace with oneself and faith in one's ability to cope with the stresses in life.”
