Ideal clients
Anyone willing and open: healing from physical pain/injury is often painful or at least uncomfortable. The same applies to mental, emotional and psychological healing. If you are willing to do the work and be uncomfortable, anything is possible. An ideal client is also accountable, they are self-aware and they are amenable. I strive to respect all of my clients and hope to garner that respect in return.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)
In your first session, we will spend time unpacking what matters to you. I have to get to know you to help you. I often employ the framework of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) in practice. Your treatment plan will include interventions to help you regain hope, heal and progress through life's difficulties.
