Hey there! I'm so glad you're here. My name is Melissa, and I'm a licensed mental health professional. I wonder if you're going through a tough time right now. I know how hard things can be sometimes. Just remember that you have inherent worth and beauty as a human being. Even when life gets rocky, you deserve to feel fulfilled and lead a life you enjoy. If you ever need someone to talk to without judgment, I'm here to listen. I care about your well-being. We all need a little support sometimes. So don't be afraid to open up if you need to! I'm rooting for you, and I believe in your ability to get through this. You've got this!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll spend some time introducing ourselves and building rapport. I want you to feel comfortable with me, so please ask any questions you have! I'm here to support you. We'll also discuss the ground rules and boundaries for our sessions. Confidentiality is essential, so everything you share will stay between us. The only expectations are if I believe you're at risk of harming yourself or others. In that case, I have an ethical duty to ensure safety. It's normal to feel nervous before a first session. I'll check in to see how you're feeling and if you have any concerns. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space for us to talk openly. There's no need to dive into anything too deep before you're ready. We'll go at your pace. You've always got choices; you're always your best advocate.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am a doer, I love a plan, an experiment, something try to see what happens. Movement and reframing are instrumental to mental health and wellness
