Hello, my name is Yessica McLean and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of CT. I have been working in the mental health field for the past 9 yrs in different settings including, in home services, residential treatment, Therapeutic counseling, and outpatient treatment. Currently I’m practicing as a private practice clinician and provide individual and family therapy to people ages 12 and up.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is called an intake appointment in which we will sign required documents to start treatment such as consent forms and other policies. I will review with you the policies and answer any questions you may have to the best of my abilities. I will also conduct a bio-psychosocial assessment to determine what are your needs. We will also discuss your treatment goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have found that having a good therapeutic relationship between client and clinician has improved the outcomes of treatment for my current and previous clients. Therefore, my goal is to treat my clients with respect, empathy, and judgment free. My goal is to hear your concerns and offer support.
