Hi. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in New York. I obtained my Masters at Baruch College and have been working in field of mental health since 2017. I currently provide therapy sessions to both young and middle-aged adults. In my practice, I support my clients with identifying their emotions, navigating various stressors, and implementing healthy lifestyle changes.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
After initial introductions, I typically start first sessions by asking what brings the client to therapy at this time in their lives. Once clients share their presenting problem, we will mildly explore various life areas such as relationships, employment, and activities of interest to gain of sense of the clients day-to-day life. I also give clients an opportunity to share if there are any significant events they feel have greatly impacted their lives to explore any possible traumas or losses. Additionally, first sessions include a brief overview of my therapeutic style and a chance to discuss therapy expectations.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Throughout my career, I have developed the ability to facilitate candid conversations to foster authentic therapeutic relationships rooted in trust. In establishing trusting relationships, I have been able to engage clients in a way that makes them feel secure enough to discuss difficult topics and open enough to listen to feedback.
