Hello. I have been a licensed Psychologist since 1998. Throughout the majority of that time my private practice was within a hospital, providing care for patients that experienced a significant medical issue that lead to adjustments in their overall mental health. These individuals were needing to make adjustments in their everyday life. Obviously, strategies were worked on because depression and/or anxiety might be present. Everyone faces times in their life that is challenging. If this situation is not resolved carefully negative issues can arise. The challenge is to resolve the uncertainty before it becomes compounded and more difficult to resolve.
I use the initial session as an evaluation of the client’s current situation and the client’s goals. The boundary of the psyological process is agreed upon. The strategy is often discussed. However, alternate opinions might be mentioned. I usually believe that the primary strategy is establishing goals of experiencing "success." Thus, the goal is to achieve "success" every step of the journey. In time realistic homework is used to increase the client’s involvement into their care leading to a satisfactory outcome!
My strength is to establish a solid therapeutic relationship ! The key is trust and empathy. However, any codependency is continuous monitored! I have personally experienced a medical crisis when I was in high school. So, I have the personal responsibility of putting the prices together I ordered to let to an success outcome.
Based on my intervention strategy in the previous answer, the client that has the most success is one that recognizes that they are experiencing a significant life changing event and is wise enough to take action before the situation becomes overwhelming. However, even in that scenario, if the person is willing to work on a solution, with proper guidance will ultimately be successful!

I enjoy working with individuals who face a challenge in their life. Working with the individual to help guide them through this difficult transition whether it revolves a voluntary lifestyle change or whether it is forced lifestyle change: i.e., lose of job, medical crisis, etc.
