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

During our first meeting we will have brief introductions. I will review your anxiety GAD-7 and depression scores PHQ-9. Then I typically ask how you are feeling in general and if there is any problems you would like to talk about. I have a conversation with you to assess if you can complete sentences and what zone you are in. You may not feel like talking straight away. Start crying or just lose it. Then I would let you rest until you can compose yourself and we can begin our conversation. I would then start with a preliminary diagnosis and prescribe a medication for your diagnosis and probably refer you to therapy.

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

Thank you for asking about the areas I feel are my biggest strengths. I have extensive training at the University of Cincinnati/Hospital in Ohio and did a comprehensive study at the Anxiety and Depressions Research Center at UCLA. I also work with OCD children and ADHD children.
