Together, we work towards understanding and overcoming obstacles, fostering personal growth, and enhancing overall well-being.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our initial session, clients can expect a warm and welcoming atmosphere where they feel comfortable sharing their experiences. We'll start by discussing the reasons they sought therapy and their goals for treatment. I'll ask some questions to gather relevant background information, such as their personal history and current challenges. We'll also explore their strengths, coping mechanisms, and any previous experiences with therapy. This helps me tailor our approach to their individual needs and preferences. Additionally, I'll provide an overview of the therapeutic process, including what they can expect from future sessions and any potential homework assignments or techniques we might use. Most importantly, the first session is an opportunity for clients to get a sense of whether we're a good fit and feel comfortable working together. They're encouraged to ask questions and express any concerns they may have. By the end of the session, clients can expect to have a better understanding of how therapy can support them on their journey toward greater well-being, and we'll collaboratively decide on a plan for moving forward.

Gestalt
"Hello, and welcome. I'm here to support you on your journey through Gestalt therapy. This approach focuses on the present moment and emphasizes self-awareness and personal responsibility for your thoughts, feelings, and actions. In Gestalt therapy, we explore how you experience yourself and your world in the here and now. We pay attention to your bodily sensations, emotions, and the way you interact with others. By bringing awareness to these experiences, we can uncover underlying patterns and blocks that may be keeping you from living fully. Our sessions will be experiential, meaning we may use techniques such as role-playing, empty chair work, or guided imagery to help you gain insights and integrate different parts of yourself. You can expect me to be fully present and engaged with you, offering support and gentle challenge as needed. It's important to understand that Gestalt therapy isn't about fixing or analyzing you; it's about fostering self-discovery and growth. Together, we'll explore your strengths, values, and aspirations, helping you to cultivate greater authenticity and vitality in your life. I'm here to accompany you on this journey of self-exploration and transformation. Let's embark on this path together, with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to embrace whatever arises."
