First session
Our first session together will be an intake session where we will have a chance to get to know each other. It will be an introduction for us and we will get a chance to know each other. We will discuss and formulate a treatment plan for further work as well as address any concerns or fears about the therapeutic experience. At the end of the intake session generally the modality, the goal and the number of sessions up to the termination/discharge session will also be decided.
Strengths
So my niche area is working through past trauma with clients as a means to becoming their best self. It is important to address trauma as past trauma informs who were are in the present. However, being trauma focused means that you focus on uncovering any positive outcome as the result of said trauma or any lessons learned that can help foster personal growth. Once it is determined how trauma has shaped your life, good or bad, then we focus on moving forward to achieve healing. The goal is for clients to heal through use of trauma informed techniques that foster a feeling of safety, ease, and empowerment.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with clients who are struggling to live their best lives by putting their trauma behind and ready to prioritize their needs.
