Mariya Pawlikowski
First session
My goal is to have a space that you are free to be who you are, without judgment. For some it's having a person you can bounce ideas off of as you try to problem solve, or sit in silence listening to deep traumas. I will ask questions to get to the surface of what is bringing you into session but it is you that leads the outcome. What you want to work on, utilize the most out of our sessions is completely up to you.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is willing to learn about themselves, be introspective, and wanting to gain awareness into their own behaviors or thoughts and how to learn positive or prosocial adaptive coping skills. They will be understanding that my role as the counselor is not to give them explicit direction on what choices to make in their life but to want to have me along with them on the journey, pointing out nuances they might not have considered and knowing they are the experts on their lives, I am just a passenger along to help guide them to a better, healthier, version of themselves.
Treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe every person has a story, one that is unique to them. Which to me means, your care should be as unique to you as well. Empathy and understanding of your story, what has worked well for you in the past or has not worked well is taken into consideration when working together. You're not just another number on a caseload, you are one of a kind and deserve to be treated as such.
