Tom Hill
Hello , My name is Tom Hill. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker working out of Sacramento California. I am working as a remote therapist with clients throughout the state of California. I attained my masters degree in 2002 and have been licensed as a therapist since 2012. I have worked with individuals, couples and families.
I would l say that one of my strengths is my perspective being an African American Male I bring a perspective to therapy that could be beneficial for clients needing a different perspective.
My style of therapy is called cognitive behavioral therapy. Working with the client in understanding the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviors/choices. I have a passion for sports and coaching. I look forward to working with you.
First session
Our first session would involve getting to know each other and building rapport. I usually will ask background questions along with review of any assessments the client has completed. I will ask how the client is presently doing and find out what they would like to work on and what brought them in today.
Strengths
I would say that one of my strengths is my perspective of being an African American Male I bring a perspective to therapy that could be beneficial for clients needing a different perspective. I also look at situations from a solution focused strengths based perspective. Its important for clients to feel empowered and supported while having opportunities to be challenged and grow.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is willing to work together on goals. Willing to explore different perspectives and develop and practice tools for success in the future. Clients who may be new to therapy may not have frustrations from past therapy experiences. A client who has an idea of what they would like to get out of therapy and a willingness to do work the session.
Origin story
I was inspired to become a therapist because I personally experienced the positive impact of coaches, mentors and teachers to help me in my journey. I have also been a par of change and growth in others through through therapy. Helping others gives me joy.
Ongoing work together
There needs to be a constant conversation with client on how they feel therapy is going for them allowing time for the client to give feedback from their perspective and making adjustments along the way as needed.
