Preston Carpenter

I worked with actively suicidal and addictive patients on a daily basis. I conducted mini bio psychosocial assessments and intakes along with individual and family sessions in the short amount of time they were in our facility. I taught several CBT and DBT in MRT therapy groups to each individual.

• Encouraged patients to discuss experiences in group and individual settings.
• Performed client assessments and developed treatment plans.
• Provided clients with recommendations to community resources.
• Utilized meditation and visualization to support clients in meeting therapeutic goals.
• Documented client progress in confidential files.
• Managed patients with substance dependence and co-occurring Axis I and Axis II disorders.
• Guided clients in effective therapeutic exercises integrated from Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
