What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session there will be introductions, an explanation of therapy guidelines, and exploring current challenges as well as other factors that may be contributing to reasons for coming to therapy. There will also be an opportunity for you to ask questions and share about what you would like from your own therapy experience.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I create a safe space for individuals to share experiences, concerns and challenges. I use a variety of methods to assist clients with discovering, managing self and or, difficult events, new challenges and problem solving that helps produce measured desired results. Opportunities will be created to explore and challenge self in developing new awareness, practice new techniques and coping skills as well as widening and developing different perspectives to enhance growth and desired changes.
