In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, clients can expect me to ensure that they are as comfortable as possible. Starting therapy can be scary, so I'll take some time to get to know them, asking about their reasons for seeking therapy, their goals, and any concerns they may have. This initial conversation helps me gain a better understanding of their situation and allows us to establish a foundation for our work together. I'll also explain my approach to therapy, including confidentiality, the therapeutic process, and what they can expect from me as their therapist. This helps to ensure that clients feel informed and empowered as we begin to work together. Depending on the client's preferences and needs, we may start exploring their presenting issues right away, or we may spend more time discussing their background and history. Throughout the session, I'll be actively listening, offering empathy and validation, and asking questions to help deepen our understanding of their experiences. By the end of the first session, clients can expect to have a clearer sense of what therapy will entail and how we'll work together to address their concerns and achieve their goals.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

As a therapist, I'm equipped to serve a diverse range of clients with various needs, but I may be particularly well-suited to those who appreciate a thoughtful and empathetic approach. Clients who value open-mindedness, a collaborative therapeutic relationship, and a willingness to explore different perspectives may find our sessions particularly beneficial. Additionally, individuals who are motivated to engage in self-reflection and personal growth, regardless of their specific challenges or goals, are likely to find our work together rewarding. Ultimately, I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences at their own pace.
