I’m a Veteran turned Therapist. I believe that the client needs to express the issues and trauma that they have along with being given coping skills and tools to deal with the symptoms associated with their issues. I believe in being proactive. I don’t want the client to think that I’m just there listening and nodding my head. I want them to know that this is a collaborative process and I’m in it with them to help them become with self and overcome any obstacles in their way.
First session would just be getting the assessment and background out of the way, but I would also leave them with some coping mechanisms, to let them know that we’re already working towards them processing issues and growing towards their best selves.
I’m proactive and try to be as transparent as I can about the therapy process. I want people to understand that sometimes the process of therapy happens quickly or it could be slowly, but those betterment will always materialize if they work for it.
The clients invest able to serve the healing with anxiety, depression in any kind of trauma. Many people fall into this category, but there are those who have more severe mental health issues. I would refer them to someone or a facility that would be more suitable for them.

Elliot really made me feel comfortable throughout my session. I was extremely anxious to begin the session and over the course of the hour he really helped calm me down!

This was my first therapy session and Elliott is amazing. I didn’t feel judged at all. He was authentic and engaging. He didn’t just sit back and let me ramble on. Was a little skeptical going into this but I’m so glad I did.
