What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In each appointment, we will discuss your current concerns and any positive or negative changes that have occurred since our last visit. At the end of each appointment, we will develop a treatment plan that is specifically meant for your needs. We will set up a follow-up appointment before we end our visit, to make sure we have a time frame to check in and review your medications, any concerns, and current treatment plan. Each follow-up appointment time frame will vary depending on what you need.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have many years of extensive experience with mental health disorders. Just to name a few: behavioral disorders, anger, depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis, ADHD symptoms, along with mood disorders. I also have vast experience with Autism. I currently see kids through adulthood and I am eager to help you through your mental health journey!
