What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, clients can expect a comfortable and supportive environment where they can freely express themselves. I typically start by getting to know them, their concerns, goals, and any relevant background information. We might discuss what brought them to therapy and what they hope to achieve. It's also an opportunity for clients to ask any questions they have about the therapeutic process and what they can expect moving forward. Overall, the first session sets the foundation for our work together and helps establish a sense of rapport and trust.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Dr. Monique's greatest strengths as a provider lie in her transparency, authenticity, and straight-forward approach.
