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

First and foremost, all paperwork, especially the intake ands safety contract must be completed before I will see you. In our first session, clients can expect to meet with a very compassionate, warm, and welcoming professional eager to listen to their most pressing concerns. Nevertheless, I will also ask questions related to your mental health issues to gain more clarity. These questions also assist me in creating a professional/mental map to identify exceptions to your mental health problems, possible solutions, and conscious and unconscious strengths to build and work from. Nevertheless, no session will be complete without your assistance in helping me identify your most desirable goals for treatment. These goals will not only be utilized to help us remain focused, but also these goals will create a direction from which to start and end our final counseling session. My goal is to help you get to your desired destination.

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

In a world of transactional relationships and dynamics, my clients have continuously praised my talent to remain constant and consistent during our therapeutic alliance. They have all agreed that it is my unwavering empathy, compassion, attentiveness, and ability to relate to them in a non-judgmental capacity that they like most about me. Moreover, clients have repeatedly noticed that the space that we create together is unlike any other dynamic that they've experienced in their lives. Clients comment on how they feel heard, seen, validated, and even encouraged after each session. Likewise, they have emphasized that no matter what they disclose, they do not feel judged, condemned, or criticized. Because of this, clients have identified that our therapeutic alliance plays a major role in helping them to feel safe and secure enough to begin making hard decisions; some of which they admit, they have avoided making throughout their lives. Moreover, clients have acknowledged that the decisions they make during and even after counseling are authentic and genuine to where they are in life and who they dream to become. Furthermore, clients have voiced that with this newfound confidence, they were able to manifest very real and tangible rewards in their lives--both immediate and long term.
