Possible Emotional Support animal options. Focus on a holistic and collaborative experiences ensuring clients needs are met by supporting their goals in a safe and empathetic environment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect an open and communicative first meeting. We will discuss a client's goals and learn more about each other to make sure the client is comfortable with me and with the therapy. This happens through asking questions about life, their symptoms, treatments they may have already tried, and what has gotten in their way in the past. I use empathy and compassion in a non-judgmental approach.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My goal is to be a guide for clients. Therapy is all about client's needs. By being open and empathetic, I can help create a plan that is unique to each person's needs. I have great success with helping client's get relief from symptoms and situations. This is due to using approaches that are client centered.
