What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you’re facing based on your background. There is a lot of background information that I will need to collect to fully understand your situation. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
As a licensed professional counselor, I employ multiple powerful therapies: CBT, PDT, and MBCT. These approaches utilize various treatment methods and tools to facilitate positive change and growth. CBT: Challenging negative thoughts, using thought records and behavioral experiments. PDT: Examining the effects of early life experiences on current thoughts and behaviors. MBCT: Mindfulness, and mindful breathing to cultivate self-awareness and reduce stress. By utilizing these methods and tools, therapy sessions empower individuals to address negative thinking patterns, develop emotional skills, and foster mindfulness, leading to personal growth and improved well-being.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a licensed professional counselor, my expertise lies in a wide range of areas, including anxiety, child and adolescent issues, eating disorders, family conflict, mood disorders, OCD, self-esteem, sexual abuse, ADHD, anger management, bipolar disorder, depression, parenting, and grief. However, my true passion and niche lie in empowering individuals to tap into their inherent strengths. By fostering resilience, promoting self-discovery, and guiding clients through transformative journeys, I help you discover your inner power to overcome challenges and create positive change.
