What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session will start with the completion of an intake assessment, a discussion of the limits of confidentiality, and the development of treatment goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My high level of objectivity, strength based approach, and solution-focused are my greatest strengths. I enjoy teaching my client skills problem-solving and coping skills not for a day, but for a lifetime!
