Hello, I am Francisco Adame Jr., a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a drive to support you with life’s challenges. I have been in the behavioral health field for 6 years at different capacities working alongside individuals from all walks of life and disparities. I have worked with many diverse populations to include LGBTQ+ community. In my work, I have seen the differences that require unique approaches and all the strengths my clients bring, not one size fits all.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session can be overwhelming for anyone even if you have been in therapy before. During this visit we will focus on getting to know you, what brings you and contributing factors to your experience. I will ask about social, medical and mental health history, interests, your future and inform you of the structure of our sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider I like to listen and find creative ways to help. It is not always about labeling or finding a solution but sometimes simply listening. I use the strengths of my clients and build on them as every experience is unique and you are the expert in it.
