What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions in which you and I will spend some time connecting with each other. I want you to know they are in a safe and non-judgmental space. Next, we will discuss the particular issues that you as a client are dealing with currently. This will aid me developed a personalized plan for us to work through in subsequent sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with many clients over the years, I have developed the ability to connect with clients as I take a person-centered approach with therapy. I strive to provide a space in which clients feel seen, heard, soothed, and safe.
