Freddy Bale Counseling Services

I work with school-aged kids, teens and adults willing to meet during school hours. My clinical practice has been primarily with individuals in crisis during rough transitions. I started in community mental health, with particular focus on severe and persistent mental illness in correctional and inpatient settings. After thirteen years in public mental health, I am drawn to continue this work with young people struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and behaviors, self harm actions, and trauma. The aim is to find ways to lessen suffering and move towards hope and stability. My work in public mental health has demonstrated the import of assertive and distinct interventions to alter a trajectory and make proactive efforts towards health and stability. My career has primarily utilized cognitive (CBT) and dialectical (DBT) behavioral modalities, yet I have a strong personal and academic interest in the intersection between literature, music, art and mental health resilience.
