In our first session, you can expect us to focus on building rapport and getting to know one another. This initial step is crucial as it lays the foundation for our work together. We'll also begin discussing your goals for treatment, setting a clear path for your journey. Building a strong relationship is key to our success as a team. By establishing trust and mutual understanding, we'll be better equipped to navigate challenges together. This partnership allows us to collaborate effectively, ensuring that your needs are met as we work towards your goals. Ultimately, our connection will empower you to achieve the positive changes you're seeking.

• Client Assessment and Goal Setting: I use my experience to identify clients' cognitive distortions or unhelpful thought patterns. Collaborate with clients to set achievable goals, focusing on changing these patterns to improve emotional regulation and behavior. • Developing CBT-Based Interventions: My experience with diverse clients allows me to tailor CBT interventions—thought records, behavioral experiments, and exposure therapy—to fit the unique needs of each client. • Empowering Clients: Leverage my understanding of clients' backgrounds to teach CBT skills such as cognitive restructuring and mindfulness. This empowers clients to recognize and challenge negative thoughts, improving their coping strategies.
