What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I am opening in my first session with a client. We will send the first couple session getting to know each other and what brings you to counseling. Counseling with me is at your own pace and what you feel comfortable with.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I work hard to provide no nonjudgmental environment. I understand that a lot of people wo seek out counseling are battling with something, and I want to be as respectful as I can.

I can work with all different clients. I prefer that are 13 years or older. Client's battling addiction or who are in recovery are my specialty. My favorite client are the ones that are a little challenging.
