LMSW-C, 20 years of experience
Hello my name is Carl Dade. I have a the pleasure of being born and lived in Michigan all of my life. My received my Master of Social Work degree from Wayne State University in Detroit. I have had over 20 years experience of treating clients who have mentel health issues and providing adolescents with therapy at thier homes, schools and community. Currently, I have spent 18 years at a school district in Michigan providing school social work services at students from 3rd-12th grade. These students have several diagnosis from ADHD, Bipolar, Learning Disability and Cognitive Impairment.
I expect clients to feel free to talk about themselves and l am willing to listen to them and show empathy.
Listening to the client who is in need of someone who cares and do judge them for who they are.
I am best positioned to service a client who wants to change and is open mined and willing to partcipate in the process of change. I like working with professionlas who have experience working in the mental health field.
You have to accept yourself in order to start accepting someone else shortcomings. I have had plenty of clients who do not recogize their problems and have not accepted their own problems. The client has not looked at thier won problems and made a commitment to change within their own life.
When provding treatment to school age children and youth I include the whole family. The famiy is the main support for the adolescent and the healing process.
