Strategies learned by working with students has helped me to provide a holistic approach to mental health.
I have worked in a hospital setting focusing on crisis stabilization and intervention.
First session
The first session is a “getting to know you” session. This is the time where the client expresses reasons for seeking services. I gather information during this time to create an individualized treatment plan and create goals for services. The client is able to ask questions regarding services and next steps for services.
Strengths
I have a great ability to relate to what my clients are experiencing. I present a non- judgmental and unbiased level of clarity and understanding
Ideal clients
