About Dr. Troll
Dr. Troll
received both
his
Masters
and Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Northwest University. Over the past several years, Dr. Troll has had the opportunity to work with individuals from varying backgrounds, and in various settings. He has worked as a clinician at an intensive outpatient drug and alcohol treatment program for youth; as a facilitator and supervisor for court-ordered, therapeutic visitations; and most recently as a therapist at Developing Minds Clinic. Dr. Troll’s doctoral dissertation focused on depression and social self-efficacy among children and adolescents living in the Kangemi slum of
Nairobi, Kenya.
Dr. Troll’s therapeutic approach leans heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Positive Psychology. As such, Dr. Troll sees therapy as a collaborative process (two people working on one problem) where identification of personal values and unrecognized strengths help individuals reclaim control and authorship of their life story. Additionally, learning coping strategies for solving issues associated with problematic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors play a key role in his therapeutic process.
In his off-time, Dr. Troll enjoys traveling, hiking, photography, creative writing, and going to movies.
