First session
Clients can expect a comprehensive mental health assessment as well as medication treatment services designed to support them in reaching their treatment goals. All medications will be prescribed following evidence-based practices, guidelines set by the Federal Drug Administration, and company policies to ensure safe and effective prescribing.
Strengths
I provide holistic, evidence-based therapy services that examine both past and present experiences to understand current issues and trauma. This approach utilizes supportive therapy and mindfulness techniques to achieve positive results.
Ideal clients
Clients aged 18 and older can participate in telehealth visits via video calls, telephone calls, and supportive therapy.
Treatment methods
Supportive
Supportive therapy assists clients in addressing their emotional challenges and life difficulties. I encourage clients to share their feelings or concerns in a safe, nonjudgmental, and respectful environment.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing will be used to establish common ground with the client, setting the stage for shared decision-making. Mindfulness will be incorporated to express empathy, while dialectical methods will promote self-efficacy. This approach will allow us to explore treatment options together and make informed decisions. The goal of these therapeutic techniques is to reduce or resolve symptoms of depression and anxiety. Feedback on motivational interviewing has been positive.
