New to Grow
I am psychotherapist with trained and lived experiences in mental health. I worked in various settings and provided therapy to many clients who have mental health issues. For that reason, I have "make it make sense" approach to my practice. The outcome of treatment not only needs to many clinical sense, which is why we must work together to achieve our goals.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is an information gathering session that will focus on learning about your background. The first question is "Why now?" Why are you seeking therapy at this time. Second question, "What are 2 goals you want to achieve in therapy?" These questions guide the therapeutic process. Also, you can gather additional information about myself and the process.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength is selling wellness. Practical strengths are empathy, communication and trust. I want to feel your emotional pain in order to interpret you thoughts and behaviors. As someone who has a high tolerance of pain, I use this gift in therapy. It allows joining with you in the therapeutic process in order to have authentic dialogue. It is then discussions about everything related to that pain can be tolerated. Other strengths include interpretation and conceptualization.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Ideally, you have exhausted all your options to feel better. If so, you are here for help. I look forward to working collaboratively with you in order for life to make sense, again.
