What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, clients can expect to go over their intake information and answer some questions to understand the reason for utilizing therapy. These questions are universal and allow the therapist to make a diagnosis and treatment plan that is most appropriate for the individual. The therapist and client will collaborate to create goals that the client is interested in achieving (learning/developing). The second session is much more personal and designed to meet the individual needs of the client.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Gloria has over eleven years of experience in mental health care both in acute, and clinical dual diagnosis (psychiatric hospitals), individual therapy, and group therapy. Working with patients with severe psychosis has allowed her to develop a love and appreciation for family and clients who suffer from both physical and mental health disabilities. She has adopted an approach that enables her to continually meet client needs with the appropriate therapeutic rapport. Gloria is very easygoing and likes to build on the clients (already formed) strengths. She has high hopes that you leave a little better than you came. In time away from work Gloria likes to be outside in the sunshine, meeting up with friends and finding new restaurants. She enjoys a good laugh and a nostalgic movie on the couch with her dog and family. Gloria looks forward to working with her clients each day with an empathetic ear and a compassionate heart.
