What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, and ice breaker ifyou will, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We wlll end thesession with Q&A , your expectations asa client and my expectations as your clinican. Keeping in mind this session may spill over into 2 sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Motivational Interviewing
It is a priority to demonstrate empathy, through open-ended questions, reframing, and reflective listening while affirming clients' positive changes as i challenge them to confront contradictory thinking that prevents them from living as their authentic selves. This is an effective intervention for those struggling with substance use, accountability, aggression ect.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
It is my firm belief that how we see ourselves significantly impacts how feel about ourselves and show up in the world. When we can redefine our thinking and address traumatic experiences that have fractured our thinking then self-efficacy can be achieved. CBT is an effective intervention ffor a range of mental and emotional concerns including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues with children and adolecents
