What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session is all about YOU as well as the second. We both will get to know other and we focus on what areas you want to work on. I a intake form is filled out prior to our first meeting and we discuss your future goals and why therapy and why now ?
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths is helping my client feel understood, judgment-free and comfortable while in the therapy room. The session is a place for them to be themselves and not filled with any type of judgment or shame from anything they want to share with me. My sessions offer grounding techniques, etc, meditation and mindfulness. I want my clients to leave the session feeling relieved and lighter. I believe in " Healing from the get go ". A AEDP approach.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
We are all wired to heal. No matter what happened in our past , we can not go back. We can only move on, change our trajectory and become the person who are destined to be . Great, unstoppable and resilient.
