First session
In our first session together, we will discuss confidentiality limits and establish rapport. I will also discuss how the therapeutic process works and assess goals for therapy.
Strengths
My greatest strengths are my communication skills and my ability to help clients reach their goals.
Ideal clients
I consider myself a very open-minded person who is willing to help people and enjoy the process of getting them to reach their goals in life. People do not necessarily need to have a mental health diagnosis to receive therapy. Everyone can benefit from therapy. I believe that the current social and environmental situation in our society and in the world in general are affecting individuals, families and communities, adding stressful issues to everyone and especially to people in need. My motto is “I’m here to serve.” I love to work with my clients, empowering them to reach their goals and providing the necessary tools to manage their own life in a healthy way.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use several therapeutic approaches based on my client's needs. CBT allows the client to explore thought patterns and how they influence their mood, emotions and behavior. I work collaboratively with the client to create new thought patterns.
Couples Counseling
In this type of modality, it is important that the therapist treat the relationship and do not create alliance with neither partner. It's important to know when this type of modality is not recommended.
