First session
I actively listen and educate clients on treatment plans and diagnoses. Patients leave my appointment with knowledge of diagnosis and prescribed treatment plan. Patients are put in the driving seat during an assessment, evaluation, diagnosing, and formulating a treatment plan with the knowledge that the best treatment is one that the patient is willing to embark on.
Strengths
My approach centers on a holistic perspective, moving beyond mere psychopharmacology. Through attentive listening we are able to come up with an effective plan of care.
Ideal clients
I love working with younger adults and adults who are currently dealing with current life stressors which could be causing symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Treatment methods
Motivational Interviewing
Listening empathetically and pointing out practical steps to make changes to promote a change in behavior.
