New to Grow
I am Valerie Larkin LPC. I have served clients in the Metropolitan Atlanta area for 12+ years. I currently utilize the telehealth platform for the convenience of those being served. I utilize the integrative approach (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-centered to therapy). Serve is offered to clients on an individual, and group setting. I am also an ordained minister who offer Christian Counseling to those who desire faith-based counseling.
The expectation for the 1st session is to provide insight into the reason you are seeking counseling services, and a history of counseling services including medication management and family history. Open and honest communication is always best to ensure that clients will receive best treatment options.
My approach is Cognitive Behavioral therapy and Person-Centered therapy. I believe that the answers needed are within the client, and the therapist is a tool to help facilitate the process of discovering of what need to take place to foster a holistic lifestyle
Therapist prefers to work with clients who understand that are an integral part of their individual development, growth, and healing . This means the client (s) are committed to the process of therapy and understand it takes both the Client and therapist collaborative work to reach established goals. The ideal client with complete homework assignments and engage in the therapeutic process.
