What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will identify goals for therapy and find out what style of therapy would best suite your needs. We will also go into your history of mental health service along with what services seem to show the best improvements in your life in order to create a personalized ideal environment for change.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in the mental health field for the past 30 years, I have experience in various aspects of therapy and behavioral assistance.
