I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 17 years experience in crisis residential, outpatient, Emergency room, Inpatient settings. I have done 5150 evaluations, conserved clients, worked on the medical side doing death notifications for families of loved ones who passed, and private practice. I have worked with Golden State Warriors, and Sacramento Kings and their families as well as in homeless Shelters in Oakland, and community mental health in Stockton, and Sacramento. I also have many LA area Clients I help via teletherapy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, it will be an intake asking many questions about you and your family history. Also going over the rules of confidentiality and risks/ benefits of care. We will develop goals for treatment to work on so when it is over you feel you got your monies worth. After that I have a casual approach more conversational in nature but focused on getting where you want to be.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Honest , straightforward, tell it like it is approach. I do not blow smoke. I have been held in high esteem by many of my peers, and genuinely want you to succeed. I have years of experience doing this. Thousands of clients served. I am here for you to reach your goals and if I am not the guy for you, have no qualms about re referring you to someone that matches as I do not want to be a barrier to your success. I offer this to all my clients and have only had 3 people take me up on it.
