First session
In the first therapy session, a client can expect a combination of introduction, information gathering, and goal-setting. It’s typically less about “diving deep” and more about laying the groundwork for the therapeutic relationship.
Strengths
My greatest strengths as a therapist are my emotional presence, clinical skills, and ethical integrity. I am able to be empathic, genuine, build strong therapeutic alliances, self-aware, patient, warmth and compassionate. These qualities help create a safe, effective space for healing.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone is open to self- reflection, motivate to change, honest and transparent, committed to the therapy process, and wants to build a therapeutic relationship. In addition someone whose can be vulnerable, engaged, willing communicate, and optimistic.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use this treatment method to provide psycho education to change maladaptive feelings and behaviors. I help clients identify unhelpful and distorted thoughts and use cognitive restructuring to change these negative thoughts and behaviors. I would suggest CBT-style “homework” such as journaling, mood tracking, scheduling pleasurable activities, or setting SMART goals. I help clients identify coping mechanisms or strategies to change these negative thoughts patterns.
