Over human history, people have mostly lived in close-knit communities. This has eroded with the advances in transportation and technology. Most people have lost much of the social support our forebearers enjoyed. Mental Health Professionals have taken on this role in their respective communities and are an excellent resource for you to realize your strengths and improve your well-being. When your car breaks down you take it to a mechanic. When your tooth hurts you see a dentist. When your mental health can use a “tune-up,” see a Mental Health Professional!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will be an exploration of what is motivating you in receiving outside help from your, or lack of, a support system to assist you in problem solving issues that are preventing you from living your best life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Depends entirely on who the patient is. My style for a 15-year-old Asian female would be different than that of a 70-year-old Hispanic male. My "ideal client" would be a patient who is ready to be honest about what motivates their decision-making process.
