First session
Hopefully a repoire is established and the client may even feel some relief or peace, may get a few tools or resources to help them to begin the change which begins within them. I meet them where they are....
Strengths
My undergrad is Business and Masters in Psy. Post masters work in Domestic Violence Sexual Assaults, Divorce Mediation from Northwestern Sexual Dysfunction from Loyola , Work in Mindfulness, DBT, CBT Solution Focused. Many tools to offer the client to make me a well rounded therapist. Foundation is Client Centered Humanistic training. Talk therapy is great but if the client needs coaching-... that can work too!
Ideal clients
My clients are interested in engaging in Growth, Wholeness and Wellbeing. Trauma has an effect on a person's wellbeing. Motivation, interest, self esteem, achievement and a person's environment as well as relationships can be affected. When healing is allowed the person is empowered to discover their resiliency and can begin to rebuild by goal setting and contributing to their own well being. The goal is to help provide the client with insights and tools they need to move beyond old limiting beliefs and behaviors.
