What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In the first session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can openly discuss their concerns and goals. We'll begin by establishing rapport and discussing confidentiality and the therapeutic process. I'll ask questions to gather information about their background, current difficulties, and expectations for therapy, while also providing psychoeducation about the therapeutic approach we'll be using. Together, we'll collaboratively set goals and begin to explore strategies for addressing their needs and working towards positive change.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I combine a blend of clinical expertise, interpersonal skills, and personal qualities to support clients on their journey toward healing and growth.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

The therapy client best positioned to serve is someone who is motivated and committed to personal growth and change. They are willing to engage actively in the therapeutic process, open to exploring their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and ready to take responsibility for their own well-being. This client is also receptive to feedback, adaptable to new perspectives, and values the collaborative relationship between themselves and their therapist.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

One of the many used therapeutic approach I use that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. I can effectively utilize CBT to help clients overcome their challenges, build resilience, and improve their overall well-being.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

Nadolphia often uses a client-centered approach, where she creates a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Nadolphia uses evidence-based practices, which are therapeutic approaches supported by research and proven to be effective for specific conditions.
