My name is Hope Kleckley and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and a Certified School Counselor. I have dedicated my career to helping children, families, the elderly, and individual's that were not able to advocate for themselves. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology/Criminal Justice, with a minor in English from Shaw University. I received my Master's of Counseling, primary discipline in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Webster University. I specialize in trauma, behavior disorders, ADD/ADHD, social-emotional learning, CBT, person-centered therapy, mindfulness, play therapy, and so forth.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients will receive therapeutic sessions that encourage active listening, supportive feedback, and I will cognitively challenge and refocus my clients as needed. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is safe, nonjudgmental, and welcoming to everyone. Lastly, I want my clients to remember that there are healthy ways to cope with the stressors in their life.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Being able to set healthy boundaries with my clients, being a good listener and knowing when to interject into the conversation, holding my clients accountable, being respectful of the client's time, providing a nonjudgmental space for my client's to feel safe, being flexible, knowing when it is time to release the clients from treatment are positive attributes I have attained.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I don't adopt one specific methodology, because there is no specific client. Instead, I utilize my expertise by asking my clients what their ideal therapist looks like from their individualized point of view. After building a rapport with my client we begin the therapeutic process. You will not see results overnight because it takes time to create a tailored approach, and it takes time to build trust. Every client has to work on their individual goals in strides.
