My name is Queensly Onuzulike, MSW, LCSW, CGIP. I am an experienced psychotherapists with more than seven years in practice. My passion is derived from seeing my clients get better than they were when they first walked through the door of my office. I am an attentive listener, I am empathetic and non-biased/judgemental. I understand that each individual's response to issues/challenges are different and I am able to meet every client where they are. My fulfillment is derived from my clients progress and ability to effectively handle the challenges that life throws at them.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients meeting with me for the first time would expect to complete the assessment to allows me have an idea of the client's presenting problem. During the first session, client would expect questions including background information, therapy history, presenting problems, goals and expectations from therapy. Clients would expect to collaborate with clinician to set their goals for therapy, as it is my belief that clients who set their own treatment goals are more motivated and committed to achieving their set goals in therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a provider are: Empathy, being able to meet each individual where they are, non-biased/judgemental, and attentive to client's concerns and needs.
