Hi! I am a LICSW in the state of Massachusetts that has been practicing in psychiatric social work for over 30 years. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings providing consultation, assessment and ultimately treatment that is short term and specific to my client's needs. I am passionate about educating others and removing the stigma of mental health issues.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up session.
Having worked for over 30 years in psychiatric social work, I have extensive diagnostic and assessment skills as well as real understanding of what clients are experiencing when they initially seek counseling.
MI is a collaborative, evidence-based practice that can clients and therapists develop a treatment plan that is based on the concept of change. It involves open ended questions, an empathetic approach and encourages clients to have motivation in their decision-making process.
