What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, you can expect for us to start with introductions, examine what lead you to therapy, and conduct an assessment ( symptoms, behaviors, strengths, concerns, past traumas, mental health history and mental status exam. This will allow me to understand more about your needs, current coping skills and any past trauma. Lastly, we will discuss goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist who has worked with several populations. I find my greatest strength is being eclectic. I do not believe that one size fits all. Therefore, I strive towards creating individual environments that each client can thrive and achieve their identified goals.
