New to Grow
Hi there! I’m Sarah :) Congratulations at taking the first step in reaching out to a counselor. I can understand how difficult it can be for some to make that decision. It can be hard to admit when someone feels like they need additional help in their lives to get things moving in a positive direction. It's important to recognize that this is not a flaw, and that teamwork is sometimes the best solution for an issue. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is very important and that you need to feel comfortable with someone to open up and trust. I would be honored to be a part of your journey to help you find your desired goals.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session is literally just meeting and getting to know each other! Hopefully you will find the environment warm and calming, as we chat about what you are looking for. I believe every individual is unique and I like to collaborate with you to make sure we can develop a treatment plan that meets your expectations. Feel free to ask any questions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am safe to open up to, someone who will emotionally support you, and someone who will work with you to collaborate on what your best path may be. I am authentic, caring, and kind, but not afraid to give constructive feedback
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I don’t have any expectations of my clients, except a desire to change the negative aspects in their life. I will believe in you, and help cheer you along as we work together to meet your goals. You got this!
