What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the initial session, the therapist will establish a rapport with the client by conducting a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment. The client will articulate their presenting issues and concerns and elucidate their reasons for seeking therapy. A person-centered treatment plan will be collaboratively developed with the client, and the relevant therapeutic modalities will be introduced and explained.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my greatest strengths lie in my ability to empower clients to view roadblocks and setbacks as stepping stones toward success. I take joy in identifying moments where clients have shown resilience through perseverance in the face of challenges. By highlighting these instances, I help clients draw on past strengths and develop new strategies, supporting them on their ongoing healing journey.
