What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I feel that life sometimes presents issues best addressed by speaking with someone who can offer an objective and encouraging viewpoint. A session with me will be viewed as a collaboration, and I am devoted to collaborating with you in times of difficulty. I'm very interested in assisting you in growing and changing. Change can be straightforward and rapid in some instances, but it can also be challenging and stressful in others. I can assure you that there are new ways of looking at your problems that will be pretty beneficial in changing your attitudes and behaviors for a better outcome.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Medication management Peer Support Self Help Plan Meditation Support Group- etc.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my strengths, I believe, is my ability to demonstrate empathy. Many people's most significant worry when walking into an office to discuss a problem is that the other person won't care and would only look at it from their own perspective rather than actively trying to connect with the person. I want to provide a safe environment for my patients to learn the importance of advocating for their mental health, educate them about the psyche-body connection, and de-stigmatize mental health therapy.
