I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among clients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and clinician alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, including any symptoms or challenges you’re facing. We will chat about your therapy goals and what you hope to achieve. Be prepared for emotional discussions. Even if you don’t initially expect it, the first session can be draining.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Empathy and Active Listening, Clinical Expertise, Flexibility, Adaptability, Non-Judgmental Attitude and Collaboration and Partnership with the client.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
