New to Grow
I am a caring, loving grandmother who desires to help others with my knowledge and experiences. I am a therapist who gives all of the resources to their clients to reach the success they want in their lives, what I do not know, I will seek out to help my clients. I want my clients to succeed in their life and prosper.
In the first session, I will ask a lot of questions, I do expect honesty from my clients so that I am best able to help them with their concerns or issues. I also provide honesty to my clients questions to help them get to know me and feel they are in a safe enviornment.
I have a direct approach, I will not hem and haw with my clients. I put into therapy what my clients put in. I find that when clients really want to work on things, they will come with a plan and I as the therapist will help them create steps and learn coping skills to meet their goals.
I am willing to help anyone who is willing and wanting to help themselves. I will give my clients the tools they need to be successful in their lives. Clients are able to choose their own goals and I will encourage them in a positive way to seek out who they are and be their best self. I role play coping skills with clients to help them understand how to utilize the skills I am teaching them in their daily lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my professional experience, working with clients using CBT has been beneficial to them. I challenge my clients on their thought/behavioral process and allow them to see how changing their thinking/behaviors will benefit them the most.
