First session
Let's get to know eachother! Therapy is a two way street. We need to make sure we are a good match to work together. I will ask questions to get to know your presenting concerns and a little bit of background and you can ask me questions too! At the end of the session I will provide my assessment of what a treatment plan might look like, provided any recommendations, and steps moving forward.
Strengths
We all want to feel validated. I will listen, empathize, and validate while at the same time staying objective and guiding you to find a solution for optimal results in whatever your concerns are. I want you to walk away feeling more in control and confident in handling what is going on and be able to push forward.
Ideal clients
An ideal client is someone who is an active participant in their treatment, health, and life. Therapy is not only done during sessions. Clients should take what we discussed during session and apply strategies to their life outside of therapy. Change is possible but it takes commitment and initiative to see results. Being open to change is also important and seeing solutions versus being stuck in the problem.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Sometimes we are limited by our own perspective. Changing our lens can help us see things in a new and different way which will help us accept and cope with what is going on around us.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
There is always a solution we just have to be open exploring solutions versus being stuck in the problem
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Focus on balancing two main ideas: accepting your reality and learning how to change unhelpful behaviors.
