What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is a bit of a different meeting than a regular therapy session. I will be asking a lot of questions so I can really understand what’s been going on. And I’ll answer any questions you might have today. After I ask my questions, I’ll share with you my thoughts and observations about what you’ve told me, so you always know what I’m thinking and to make sure I really understand. Then I’ll share with you my initial thoughts and plan for how I’m going to help you feel better. I’ll also go over how we will track your progress.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Sawubona! This is a Zulu greeting, literally meaning “I see you.” Sawubona carries the importance of recognizing the worth and dignity of each person. It says, “I see the whole of you—your experiences, your needs, your passions, your pain, your strengths and weaknesses, and your future. You are valuable to me.” This is how I feel about each and every client.
