What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, I will provide background information and answer any questions. After that, the goal of the session is to build rapport and gain deeper insight into reasons for seeking therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe in the importance of establishing a strong collaborative relationship and finding a balance between support and also challenging you to meet your goals.
