Hi โ Iโm Dr. Kadela and itโs nice to โmeetโ you. They wanted me to write a little about myself so here you go! Note โ if you have insomnia this might just put you to sleep โ so enjoy that perk at no charge! – Why are you on BetterHelp? I have over 26 years of assessment and treatment experience. I only work with 1-2 clients at a time on BetterHelp since I work full time with the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) and am also a United States Army National Guard Behavioral Health Officer (neither of which I formally represent here). BetterHelp allows me to work with cool people like you in a more casual setting. Before coming to the DVA I specialized in children and families. – What would our sessions look like? Well โ thatโs really up to you! I may have gone to school for a long time to be called โDr.โ but youโve spent a long time being you โ and youโre the expert of you! So we are both experts, and therefore equals, in this partnership. So YOU get to pick how we spend our time together. Do you want Executive Coaching? Or to use me as more of a sounding board for your thoughts and feelings (sometimes known as Gestalt Therapy)? Do you want to target an issue like Depression, Trauma, Anxiety, Sleep, Communication or Anger? If thatโs the case you can choose an Evidenced Based Psychotherapy (EBP). EBPs are well researched and have proven outcomes. They almost always involve homework in-between our sessions. You can see you have a lot of choices and we can talk about whatโs right for you, and what you think would be best, but I am formally trained in: โข Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) โข Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) โข Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression (CBT-D) โข Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) โข Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP) โข Social Skills Therapy (SST) โข Anger Management (AM) โข Solution Focused Brief Psychotherapy (SFBP) โข Problem Solving (PS) No matter what we do I take a holistic approach. I believe we need to balance Body, Mind and Spirit (however you define Spirit). When one of them is out of whack (not a technical term) the other two go wonky (again not a technical term). Itโs like driving a vehicle with three round tires and one square โ itโs very clunky and uncomfortable! – Resume/Curriculum Vita OK โ here is the boring stuff. Iโve been practicing for over 26 years and during that time Iโve taught/teach at University at both the Graduate and Undergraduate levels. Iโve published in a few journals. Iโm Board Certified in my discipline. Iโve worked and/or supervised inpatient, outpatient and residential treatment programs. Iโve been on the conference circuit and given many workshops and keynote speeches. Iโve held job titles such as Chief Clinical Officer of National Programs, State Director, Chief Administrative Officer, Training Director, Supervisor of Specialty Programs, etc. I am a US Army Combat Veteran. Let me know if you want more details as Iโm happy to share. I hope I get to meet you!
