First session
The first session will consist of a free-flowing psycho-social assessment. My goal at the end of the first session is to gain an understanding of the onset, duration, and frequency of your symptoms. I also strive to see beyond the symptoms and gain a greater understanding of you, the person.
Strengths
My greatest strength as a provider is simply keeping it real. I believe in meeting the clients where they are while establishing and maintaining a healthy and therapeutic alliances. I also strive to assist clients with connecting the dots to see the bigger picture. Through this process, the goal is to empower clients to create their own destinies.
Ideal clients
I aspire to continue to reach clients that are in need of mental and emotional healing.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My overall preference is to use Person-centered modalities. Each client and circumstance is different. As a result, I prefer to allow the client to set the pace, determine treatment, and identify desired outcomes. I have utilized the Person-centered approach throughout my clinical training as well as independent clinical experience.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As individuals are reacting to an event, transition, and/or stressor, it is imperative to fully assess the situation, thoughts, and emotions that occur as a result. The thoughts and emotions are usually the driving force that determines how the client successfully or unsuccessfully adapts to the situation(s) at hand. Through my 8+ years of experience, I have found CBT to be very beneficial across populations and various symptom presentations.
