What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, I concentrate on introducing myself, listening to you and understanding what your needs are, providing you an opportunity to ask questions and address any issues that you may have, and I try to give an outline of what therapy with me would be like.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I primarily use CBT therapy to proactively challenge clients to become independent, problem-solving individuals. Utilizo principalmente la terapia CBT para desafiar proactivamente a los clientes a convertirse en personas independientes y capaces de resolver problemas.
