First session
During our first session, we will take some time to get to know each other to begin building a client to clinician rapport. We will establish expectations the client has for the clinician, as well as expectations the clinician has for the client. We will also establish goal setting.
Strengths
I endeavor to meet the client where the client is. I express empathy and encourage clients to establish goals in achieving their greatest sense of self. Lastly, I am here as a support and a guide to achieving their goals.
Ideal clients
I love working with people that are ready to take those steps needed to gain mental health wellness and healing, even if they have really strong defenses and resistances. The best client to serve are those that are willing to work and I can be present in the session and able to jump into the process.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
The goal of CBT to help individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, and to learn practical self-help strategies. This is done through establishing problem solving skills, adjusting negative thinking habits, and create realistic and achievable goals.
