What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, history gathering and then discuss the specific challenges you're facing. We'll identify and discuss potential goals for therapy. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Evidence based techniques used include Person Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
