What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, I will gather information and find out what your areas of concern and goals for counseling are, in addition to other things you may feel are important to your treatment. I will ask questions to better understand your perspective and welcome any questions or concerns that you may have as well. Clients can expect me to be an extension of their support system while they are on their healing journey.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in private practice and as a field based crisis counselor, I have gained the skills to help clients during their time of dire need that includes a holistic approach and I believe in providing a safe space for my clients to be able to work through the things that they feel affect them the most.
