Accepting New Clients
Get To Know Me
What does a first session with you look like?
As much as possible, I tend to match the style of the client without losing my feeling of being genuine. The first session is extremely important because it is the opportunity to make the client comfortable, learn about their struggles, bond with them over an issue or something in common, leave them with the knowledge that ;things do get better.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
My style is to be direct and on-point in helping clients meet their goals. Utilizing workbooks, hand-outs, anything that helps the client to connect and move forward. I also have them check reality frequently to see how they have changed in the last 2 weeks, month, 3 month, etc.
What do you view as a key component of the therapeutic relationship?
Rapport is a key component in evoking change. In my experience, I have worked with brilliant therapists who could really formulate a theory and deliver a powerful ending message. I have also worked with the not so brilliant, but incredibly genuine and caring clinician, and those were the therapists that kept clients and saw results.
