First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges the client is facing. This will assist me create a tailored plan for us to work through in subsequent follow-up sessions.
Strengths
Having worked with different age groups for over 4yrs, I have developed a tried and true playbook for helping clients (a) identify the root cause of their challenges and (b) create a tailored treatment plan that leads to measurable progress.
Ideal clients
I love working with adolescents, young and older adults who are still in school and some few years of their careers. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck , overwhelmed and anxious about their future and careers.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In most cases, I explain how thoughts lead to feelings and my CBT treatment plan includes objectives of therapy, a list of techniques and intervention to use and a timeline for treatment goals. In clients with social anxiety for instance, the goal will be to make more friends or be more social. I use CBT to encourage positive thinking by the client, learn to cope with emotions like depression and sadness.
