My name is Kares Clarke, and I'm thrilled to welcome you as a new client. I truly believe that therapy can be a transformative experience, and I'm honored to be a part of your journey towards growth, healing, and self-discovery. Before we embark on this journey together, I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself. I am a Clinically licensed Social Worker specializing in: Self abandonment, Issues of control and attachment . Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate various challenges and achieve their personal goals. My approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and collaboration. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore and process your thoughts and emotions.

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

The first therapy session is an essential foundational step in the therapeutic process, in the first session I focus on establishing rapport, setting the tone for a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. During the first session, I do what I call the 'historical' session. This is when we talk about the history of you and what got you to where you are today with the presenting issues that you came to therapy to discuss and solve. I am a big believer that we can not resolve any issues without first looking at how the issue came to be. I spend time getting to know you better, asking questions about your symptoms, how they impact areas of your life, your family history, and any prior experiences with therapy. This part of the therapy session allows the me to understand a client's situation better and develop a personalized treatment plan. Additionally, I will explain how therapy sessions work, discuss confidentiality, and answer any questions you may have about therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked in the 'people helping' field for over a decade, I've developed a knack for guiding clients on a journey of self-discovery, helping them navigate the complex process of forming healthy relationships and creating a safe emotional space within themselves. I strongly believe in providing clients with a supportive and empathetic environment, assisting clients in understanding and resolving patterns of self-abandonment and facilitating the growth and integration essential for rebuilding self-worth and establishing meaningful connections with others.
