I have 8 years of working experience in behavior healthcare/psychiatry field and in treating both adults and geriatric patients .
Holistic approach and individualized treatment plan beyond client's immediate symptoms, such as their lifestyle, social support, and mental health are the considering factors. This can create a more comprehensive and sustainable recovery plan towards client's overall goal.
First session
Patient's acceptance of their current condition and commitment to the treatment should be client;s overall goat. And I expect my clients after each therapy sessions, to gain some insight into their thoughts, feelings and behaviors which can help them focus, move on and make positive changes in their life
Strengths
I use client focus approach/individualized treatment plan that prioritize my patient's unique needs, characteristics, and preferences in developing and delivering their care. This addresses client's specific needs according to their unique circumstances that can lead to more effective and meaningful outcomes.
Ideal clients
I have extensive experience in serving adults and geriatric patient population. My goal is to provide my clients a therapeutic and caring environment. In understanding their mental health needs, I would diagnose, treat and manage their mental illness through providing necessary psychotherapy and medication management.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
This type of treatment method helps clients to utilize mindfulness and acceptance strategies. It helps them to acknowledge their difficult thoughts/feelings and overcome with those by accepting them and get committed to actions aligned with their values.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This helps clients to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to the problems and replaces it with positive ones by better understanding and modification.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
This therapy reduces self-destructive behaviors, improves interpersonal relationships to manage their intense emotions.
Motivational Interviewing
This approach is useful when a person is struggling with low confidence, low desire, or low importance regarding the change and it helps to explore and resolve their ambivalence.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
This approach is to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients in tailoring treatment to the individual's unique cultural context
