(he/him)
Hello Potential Clients!! My name is Haywood Berman, First, I want to acknowledge what a huge step you are taking by exploring therapy. Sometimes this can be the most difficult step to take, and I can appreciate the level of courage it takes to open yourself up for support in your mental health journey. I am here for you as a partner who strives to create a safe, open, and honest relationship that focuses on personal growth, solutions, choices, and self-reflection. Therapy is hard work, but I believe it does not have to be forever. My goal is to provide clients with brief counseling focused on developing tools and strategies they can use in their daily lives.
Our first session will focus on your goals and expectations for our counseling sessions, as well as gaining important context and understanding of the underlying issues you face. I want to find out what's important to you and what has been challenging for you. This will help me formulate some treatment objectives and goals that best suit your specific area of focus.
One strength that stands out is that my diverse professional background has enabled me to adopt a varied approach to counseling methodology. My experience in both counseling and case work has allowed me to take a more practical approach to working with individuals and families. I am a therapist, but at my core, I am a social worker, which means that I also look to help and support individuals within the context of their own individual socio-economic and environmental circumstances. These things impact and inform the choices we all make and the options we have in life.
My ideal client/s is not only willing to discuss their problems and concerns but also ready and motivated to engage in self-reflection. They are solutions-focused and seek to partner with their therapist in this regard. Finally, they are looking for open and honest feedback that focuses on personal growth, choices, and looking forward.
