Well hello there! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida and licensed in both Florida and Massachusetts. I received my Masters from the University of Kansas and have been practicing for 9 years. I run a successful life coaching business where I meet people on the beach and we walk and talk. I am living the dream, who says you can't make a living helping people and going to the beach?
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Down to earth. Introductions and finding out what's happening currently with a client, subtle backstory if applicable, identifying support systems, experiences/expectations of therapy. Wish list from the client with priorities and a vague road map by me of how I think we should get there. Feedback and ideas if I am on point or if they want to travel quicker/slower/off the beaten track with many pitstops etc. Very light and fact finding on my end. Super sneaky probing by me...it looks more off the cuff than it actually is but clients leave incredibly encouraged and excited to get to work and I have the information I need to plan. They always say "you so get me" and I, oddly enough, even though their backstories may differ, do. Super relaxing and fun...
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I cannot sing. No skills in sports to speak of, draw like a right handed person drawing left handed. I have wicked ADHD so I can listen to rapid fire speech in forty directions with segmented backstories and make sense of it all, when I recap you will feel like you have known me for years and possibly witnessed the events you spoke of first hand, medication has been a mixed bag in helping me be sequential in other areas of my life but my disability is an advantage as a therapist. Everyone has a gift to share with the world. My greatest strength as a provider is my ability to connect and not only meet you where you are but make you see the endless possibilities for your life. I help you see it for yourself drawing from the things you talk about in session. I want to help people. That's why I became a therapist. It's the top quick round the room answer for why most people become cops, nurses, ministers, teachers, social workers, etc. It certainly isn't the monetary pay. The the joy I get, all helpers who are engaged in their professions get, is lightening another persons load through listening as a sounding board and providing different possibilities/possible obstacles. Crossing someone's path and making a difference. Connection is the sweetest feeling. Heart felt thank you notes and gratitude filled voicemails that I get from clients get my spirits so high I think my heart will leave the ground and float off into space. I'm the therapist I would want. I cheer my people on in their successes and my sessions are a safe place to admit setbacks or defeat. There is no greater gift than knowing you helped someone see things in a way that serves their higher purpose.
