What does a first session with you look like?
I believe after a client has an initial session that their thing to do would be to "check in with themselves." This not only gives the client a chance for self-reflection about how the first session went, but also to self-reflect on if they feel that I am a good fit for them for future sessions. With the above being stated, during the initial session, even though it is tedious, it is necessary to complete the appropriate paperwork, as well as the intake form and the PHQ-9 assessment or otherwise known as a "Depression screening." I am only able to tell just a fragment of who a person is on a piece of paper, but some people are more comfortable writing their thoughts and feelings down on paper for the first couple of sessions and therefore this form of introduction can be quite helpful.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I like to use Trauma Focused Therapy and in conjunction use the workbook The Emotional Abuse Recovery Workbook: Breaking the Cycle of Psychological Violence. Theresa Comito, LMFT. I believe that by using this workbook and other worksheets with my clients assists them with engaging their hands on and not just having the "sit" the entire session however I never force any client to discuss anything they do not or are not ready to discuss. I also use CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Person Centered Therapy. I am very passionate about women's issues and therefore use and work with Domestic Domestic Violence, Anger Management and Batterers Intervention. Criminal Justice Involvement/Forensics I am also very educated with along with drug and alcohol.
