What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first therapy session is primarily about establishing a connection and gathering information. It’s a foundational step toward your therapeutic journey, and it’s perfectly normal to feel a mix of emotions. Remember, it’s a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings! If you have any specific questions or concerns about your upcoming session, feel free to ask.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT emphasizes the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. Negative thoughts can lead to harmful feelings and behaviors, and changing these thoughts can lead to healthier responses. Typically, a structured, goal-oriented therapy that involves identifying specific problems and developing strategies to address them.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a client-centered counseling approach designed to enhance motivation for change. It’s particularly effective in addressing ambivalence about behavior change, such as in substance use, health behaviors, or other areas where individuals may feel stuck.
Strength-Based
Strength-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on individuals' strengths, resources, and resilience rather than their problems or deficits. It aims to empower clients by helping them recognize and leverage their existing skills and positive attributes to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
Trauma Informed Care
Trauma-informed care is particularly beneficial for individuals with histories of abuse, neglect, or other traumatic experiences, providing a foundation for healing and recovery.
