***Accepting new clients!*** Welcome to therapy! Congrats on taking the step to seek a safe and healthy place for you to process. I welcome you to my practice on the Grow Platform and look forward to connecting with you. My name is Dr. Joanna White and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Connecticut. I have my School Counseling Certification in Connecticut and also am a University Professor in Human Services and Social Work. I am a firm believer that therapy can be beneficial for all (I go myself!) and see it as a wonderful opportunity to grow and process “life stuff” in a safe and supportive environment. It is an honor to provide that space to my clients! We can talk more about your unique therapy journey and how I can best support you in our first session. I look forward to connecting with you soon!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with introductions, so that I can get to know you better and also introduce myself and my therapeutic style. We will then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan just for you and identify therapy goals for us to work through in follow-up sessions together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a very positive, solution-focused person and that translates into my work in a therapeutic environment. I work with clients to take control of their lives and choose next steps that work best for them. Another strength is that I have a diverse set of professional experience in K-12, higher education as well as the professional world, which brings unique ideas and solutions to the conversation.
