First session

During our first session together, clients can expect a warm and welcoming environment where they can openly share their concerns and goals. We'll start by discussing their reasons for seeking therapy and what they hope to achieve. I'll take the time to listen attentively, ask relevant questions to gain a deeper understanding of their situation, and collaboratively establish a plan for moving forward. Clients can expect to feel heard, validated, and supported as we begin our therapeutic journey together. Additionally, we'll discuss confidentiality, the therapeutic process, and any questions or concerns they may have about therapy.

Strengths

As a provider, my greatest strengths lie in my ability to cultivate a supportive and non-judgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their challenges and vulnerabilities. I excel in building strong therapeutic alliances based on empathy, trust, and collaboration. My extensive experience and training enable me to tailor therapy approaches to meet each client's unique needs, fostering meaningful progress and growth. Additionally, my commitment to ongoing learning and professional development ensures that I stay current with best practices and evidence-based interventions, allowing me to provide the highest quality of care to my clients.

I like that Tricia pushes back and calls me out when I need it. I've gotten further in three visits with her than I did in a year with my previous therapist.

I chose Tricia because I wanted someone who would be direct with me and help me work through my problems without putting me down or coddling me. She has been all that and more and I have made great progress!
