What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, clients can expect a welcoming and confidential space. We'll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and your goals, establishing a therapeutic connection. You're in control of how much you share, and I'll outline my therapeutic approach. We may explore initial coping strategies, and by the end, you'll have a sense of whether you're comfortable and supported in our therapeutic relationship, with a clear understanding of what to expect in future sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
