I have 31 years of working with Marriages, Families and Children. My wife and myself are both licensed marriage and family therpaist and we offer a specialty in couples counseling where we provide affair recovery, marriage communication techniques and marriage resolutions. I have extensive experience in foster care and adoption systems
First session
The first session consist of reviewing the initial assessment that the client filled out prior to counseling. These assessments are critical in goal setting and treatment planning. Clinical conscent will be obtained, credentials will be reviewed and the dangers to self and others will be assessed. When clients come to couseling they often would like a direction and something to try before the next session. These suggestions are in line with best teatment practices for the reasons for seeking treatment
Strengths
My life experiences with my four children helps me empathize with other parents. My expeience with trauma and family law helps me teach divorced families to understand the unique dynamics of these family systems. I also have years of experience with foster adoption parents and foster adoption children.
Ideal clients
The ideal client is dealing with trauma. The trauma from anything that has effected them. Many clients minimize the trauma that they have endured. I am an EMDR trained therapist that has been effective in helping a variety of clients . My ideal client would want to explore trauma links to their past which effects their negative thinking. This trauma could include grief and loss issues in couples and in families
