Baisha Franklin
Hello there! My name is Baisha Franklin and I have been working as a Licensed Professional Counselor for 11 years. I am a mother of 4 great sons, I place tremendous value on family and strong relationships. I am excited to serve clients who are looking to lead a life of balance, peace, and emotional stability.
A few of those key skills include using biblically based principles, logic, truth, and reasonability as foundational standards during sessions.
I believe in working towards goals for improvement that will result in fulfillment and structure in life. I am confident in my ability to help clients make changes that will improve the quality of their lives and ultimately exceed their greatest expectations. I am currently seeing clients ages 18 and up.
First session
I take considerable time to get to know my clients during the first session. I also share sufficient information about my counseling style and professional goals when working with clients. Initially, we will discuss any past history with counseling, life background, and expectations of the counseling process. Most importantly, there will be significant attention placed on the client's goals and current hindrances, in order to develop relevant treatment plan goals and objectives.
Strengths
For the past 5 years, I have discovered the key to building strong relationships with my clients, which is integral for a successful therapeutic experience. This method includes being highly in-tuned with my client's needs and utmost desires. In other words, I listen to my people! I use a holistic approach to counseling, which equips my clients with the tools, skills, perspective, and motivation to make the changes they desire in all areas of life. It is simplistic and relevant. Although I am skilled at helping my clients through the traditional counseling methods, I also utilize additional approaches to counseling. A few of those key skills include using biblically based principles, logic, truth, and reasonability as foundational standards during sessions.
Ideal clients
I am eager to work with clients who are motivated for change. Individuals looking to become holistically balanced and secure. My approach to therapy is very beneficial to men and women, aged 18 and up, due to the true nature of self-reflection and independence to make important life decisions. I find great reward in assisting clients who are willing to work towards goals that will help them leave the past behind and discover their purpose.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT has been the main method of treatment in my counseling practice. It has aided in my success by serving as a conduit of reflective thinking. I use it daily through prompting and presentation of open ended questioning to allow the client to process, identify, and make relevant conclusions.
Christian Counseling
I consider the biblical approach to counseling as superior in helping my clients reach their full potential. This approach allows the client to view life through the perspective of the bigger picture. I use this method when clients are seeking spiritual guidance that will help them live out their belief system.
