Taking the first step to seek counseling can be challenging but also very empowering and rewarding at the same time. What I provide is a safe, nonjudgmental space for clients to feel supported and heard. As a licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience I have worked in various residential treatment centers, crisis and detox facilities, and hospitals in the community. My experience has equipped me with the knowledge to utilize a variety of treatment modalities and interventions to provide clients with the necessary tools they need to realize their full potential.
In the first session I want to create an environment where the client feels safe, supported, and heard. I will work with the client to answer any questions or concerns and also go over any policies. I also take this time to go over brief introductions, and dive into finding out the specific challenges and areas of concern that the client is dealing with that brought them to therapy. I will use that information to create a unique treatment plan that will address these issues and that we can work through in the following sessions.
I provide a safe space for my clients to feel comfortable to share and process their life challenges and feel supported and heard. I use my 10+ years of experience in this field to develop a treatment plan that utilizes various treatment modalities to address each clients unique needs.
I use treatment modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy to help my client identify troubling situations and how their thoughts, beliefs, and emotions affect the situation. I then create a treatment plan that is unique to each client that will help them address their areas of concern.
