Greetings, my name is Soncheray. I am a licensed clinical social worker with more than 10 years of experience. I started Fruitful Life Counseling Services to help individuals understand the "fruit" they bear. How are you showing up in the world-but most of all for yourself! Are you showing up for you at all? You have already taken the first step by searching for someone to talk to; you have started the process-BUT WHAT NOW? I specialize in helping individuals accurately identify what is holding them back. Being able to accurately put words to our emotions is so important in identifying the correct coping strategy. It's no secret that when we feel overwhelmed in one area, we start to feel a sense of powerlessness that transfers into other areas if not addressed. When the transfer happens, we often don't know where the stress or trigger is coming from. Powerlessness can emerge for a number of different reasons. Something triggered these feelings you have. My role in the helping relationship is to help you identify and face your emotions, rather than avoid them. It is time to take your power back, and trust your intuition again. You will never win the race against the thing(s) you're running from. It's time to stop running. Let's get started.
In your first session with me you can expect to gain and understanding of why I chose to serve in this manner. The short version of what motivated me to be a vessel of healing and growth for others. You will be given the space to share your perspective of why you reached out to me, and I will help you prioritize your therapeutic needs. We may or may not create a plan in the first session. Dont be overwhelmed by the word "plan." I simply mean an area or areas to focus on to give you a sense of direction. You will always leave sessions with me feeling better than when you arrived, and will always have something to think about in between sessions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (thought reframing) Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (accepting our emotions) Trauma Informed Therapy AND Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Substance Abuse Counseling Motivational Enhancement Therapy Employee Assistance Counseling (work related stress-conflict resolution)
My biggest strengths are my honesty and my ability to see what you are unable to see. I reframe your confusion and fears in a way for you to understand, and thoughtfully present them. I believe in short term solution-focused therapy! Lastly, I am accountable when I am wrong.
I see clients ages 22 and beyoned. I do not see individuals UNDER THE AGE OF 22. I specialize in SHORT TERM therapy 3-6 months. Long term therapy can be assessed on a case by base basis. It cant take some time to determine if a therapist and client are a good fit. Sometimes it can take 2-3 sessions, don't be discouraged by that. We are complete strangers, keep showing up!

Though it was determined that my needs fell outside the scope of Soncheray's practice, this determination was ultimately why I've rated her as highly as I can. The honest and forthcoming nature of our initial discussion and subsequent decision to go a different route is exactly the type of interaction I hope to have with any care provider I may seek assistance from.

I've only seen Soncheray a couple times so far. I feel like she is attentive and I appreciate how she is straightforward.
