First session
In the first session after introductions, I will be interested to hear from my client their motivations to seek therapy at this current time. I will also be interested in any other content the client thinks is most relevant for that first session, including answering questions they may have regarding any aspects of the treatment pertaining to their case.
Strengths
I value what makes each person unique in the therapeutic relationship to elicit the client's ability to gradually detach their self-concept away from rigid definitions that might be restraining their efforts and potential to grow.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with individuals who are interested in therapy in order to develop self-awareness into their personal challenges in reference to the emotional and social spheres of their lives. Gaining self-awareness is essential to develop coping skills needed to overcome obstacles that have prevented these individual from making progress . Improving their quality of life is the driving force behind these individual's interest in therapy.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
My interest in the psychodynamic framework of therapy originated through a combination of formal graduate training and practical experience in the mental health field. I have used this framework as a reference to identify dysfunctional relationship patterns with significant others in the past and present that might have contributed with an individual's current struggle. Interventions are not only aimed at helping individual's gain self-awareness over their personal challenges in the context of these relationships but also help them mobilize efforts to build healthy interactions with themselves and others.
