New to Grow
I've been a practicing psychotherapist for over twenty five years providing in and outpatient therapy for adolescence and adults. I am interesting in working with clients who are motivated for change, who are willing to make a commitment to the process of change and consistent with treatment. I am also interested in clients who are willing and open to developing a therapeutic relationship base on trust. The goal of treatment is to help clients to improve their insight regarding the issues/problems that they want to change.
The first session with be used to introduce ourselves to one another by talking about what bought you to therapy and any past therapy experiences. We will talk about your issue or problem and what expectations or changes you are looking to make. We will go over your schedule and how offer you are available for treatment sessions and we will discuss treatment options related to your issue.
What makes me unique is my commitment and consistence to the work I do with my clients. What stands out is my honest and open approach to identifying issues related to why we would or wouldn't be able to work together. For me Identifying weather a client is willing to make a commitment to the process or not is important to know from the start.
