Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I like working with with children, adolescents, younger adults, and the older adults who are seeking help and relieve from their mental health problems. These are clients who are eager to improve, but do not have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, and overwhelmed with their mental health problems
