I strive to create a safe, relaxed and comfortable environment where you can be yourself and discuss anything without judgment. As your therapist, I will work collaboratively with you to support you and guide you in achieving your goals and achieving a happier and healthier life. ***Mrs. Hodge does not provide any services pertaining to processing short-term disability and/or long-term disability.***
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions and then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. I also like to gain an understanding on your expectations and ask about past experiences with therapy to learn what has worked for you and what I can do to help you get the most out of therapy. Subsequent sessions will be tailored towards your goals and expectations, however, I always welcome (and encourage) questions and feedback from my clients if they are not receiving what they need (such as homework, their progress, etc.).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have been told that I make others feel comfortable enough to open up and be vulnerable during sessions. I like to believe I am empathetic and genuine. I thoroughly enjoy the challenge of complex cases and push myself with new trainings and research on new modalities to ensure my clients are receiving up-to-date and effective treatment.
