What to expect in counseling sessions

  • Initial Session Overview

    In the initial session, we engage in a Q&A format to grasp an overview of your counseling history, reasons for seeking help, goals for counseling, childhood background, current relationships, lifestyle habits including diet and sleep, body image, work life, and passions.

  • Establishing Connection

    I typically suggest starting with weekly sessions. In subsequent sessions, our focus shifts to exploring deep into your experiences, thoughts, communication patterns, and establishing a rapport between us.

  • Session Duration

    Session duration varies based on factors like personal obstacles, self-awareness, therapeutic goals, coping abilities, homework completion, and more. Some clients benefit from just a few sessions, while others continue for several months. Frequency can range from twice weekly to monthly or bi-monthly, tailored to individual needs.

If past therapy experiences left you doubtful due to unprofessionalism, lack of genuineness, or judgmental attitudes from therapists limited by their own issues, know you're in capable hands here.

My philosophy & approach to counseling

  • As a licensed professional psychotherapist, I bring clinical training and expertise to address a spectrum of diagnoses and disorders, including complex trauma, PTSD, clinical depression, eating disorders, and more. My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, ensuring a comprehensive and compassionate response to diverse challenges.

  • I sometimes leverage the transformative power of somatic therapy in sessions. This approach recognizes that our physical experiences, sensations, and movements are interconnected with our emotional and psychological well-being. By adding somatic therapy in sessions, not only addresses mental and emotional aspects but also acknowledges and works with the embodied nature of human experience, contributing to a more holistic and transformative therapeutic process.

    I am also certified in the 2-year Advanced Yoga Studies program from the Bhavana Institute of Yoga & Ayurveda Studies.

  • For client craving deeper work, I offer a depth lens to psychotherapy. Certified in Jungian Depth Psychology which is grounded in the belief that the human psyche is intricate, influenced by both conscious and unconscious factors. Unlike approaches focused solely on symptom treatment, Jungian psychotherapy addresses into underlying causes, fostering personal growth and self-discovery.

  • In my practice, I can tailor a range of modalities to suit the unique interests and preferences of each client. From visualizations to bodywork, sound therapy, art therapy, and Shamanic practices, these diverse methods enrich therapy by offering clients versatile tools to express, process, and explore their emotions. This multifaceted approach fosters a more comprehensive and personalized path to healing, allowing for a deeper integration of emotional and spiritual well-being.

  • Psychodynamic therapy is a form of talk therapy that explores how past experiences, particularly from childhood, shape current emotions, behaviors, and relationships. It focuses on uncovering unconscious conflicts and patterns, often through free association, dream analysis, and exploration of the therapeutic relationship. The goal is to increase self-awareness and insight, leading to emotional healing and personal growth.

“I feel seen, heard, encouraged, supported, and lovingly corrected through reframes.

I see a kind heart and a fiery spirit that feels deeply, loves fully and craves depth in life and relationship.”

Carlyn

Is my approach what you’re looking for in a psychotherapist?

  • Therapeutic Relationship

    My style is about connection. If you want to heal and grow, the primary relationship we need to work on is the relationship between the psychotherapist and the client. Clients who seek to work with me yearn for deeper engagement, thoughtful exploration, and to be asked stirring questions that may be uncomfortable yet provoke profound insights.

  • Client Commitment

    If you’re looking to explore your past, trauma, pain, or blind spots with a therapist who is committed to their own journey and continuously invests in becoming more skilled, I might be the right fit for you. I thrive when working with individuals who are willing to undertake the hard work, rather than solely depending on a therapist to "fix" them. I work best with those who want to be challenged yet guided through the arduous journey of discovering their truest selves.

  • Integrative Approach

    Additionally, I excel in working with people who are open to integrating multiple levels of care, such as somatic work or depth psychology, which involves exploring dreams, the unconscious, and projections. Our work together is a collaboration. I can't fix you because you are not broken. I am here to guide the process of deep inquiry and show up better in your life and in your relationships with others and yourself.

  • The Collaborative Process

    Our work together is a collaboration. I can't fix you because you are not broken. I am here to guide the process of deep inquiry, helping you show up better in your life and in your relationships. I work best with clients who are brave enough to explore deeper aspects of themselves, facing shadows and unearthing hidden parts that influence their thoughts and behaviors. This involves honest self-reflection and confronting uncomfortable truths. Together, we will navigate this journey, fostering a space where you feel supported and challenged, leading to greater self-awareness and personal growth.

Triseugeny Kononelos, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor
(tris.ev.yen.e ko.no.ne.los)

Individuals come to me for a trauma-focused, body-centered (somatic therapy), or Jungian depth approach to psychotherapy, especially when they’re navigating complex trauma. Many feel stuck, lonely, overwhelmed, or lost and seek a therapist who not only has clinical expertise but has also done the deep personal work themselves. Get support for deep-rooted pain and reconnect with your true self. Whether you're new to therapy or have had past experiences that felt too clinical—leaving you feeling doubtful, judged, or disconnected—you may find yourself searching for something more meaningful and with lasting impact.

In sessions, you can expect to focus on healing from deeply distressing experiences using trauma-informed approaches. We'll work together to understand and regulate your emotions by paying attention to how they manifest in your body. This process aims to help you feel more connected, grounded, and empowered as you navigate complex feelings and experiences.

I understand how challenging it can be to navigate these feelings alone. Therapy can be a sacred space for profound healing and self-discovery, allowing you to embrace your humanity in all its complexity. If you're ready to understand yourself better and find renewed meaning, reach out to begin your journey toward change.
