What does a first session with you look like?
We will spend time getting to know each other. We will introduce ourselves, establish your needs and gather information. I will need to know why you're seeking therapy. I may ask you the following questions: What are your reasons for coming to therapy. What are your concerns. What do you want to get from therapy. Do you have a history of mental health issues.
What is your style/approach to therapy?
I provide Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy strategies, and Client-Centered therapies to allow clients to express themselves and identify solutions to problems using their own strengths and skills. We will able to use difference approaches which is best for your concerns.
What do you think is the biggest barrier today for people seeking care?
The lack of coverage for behavioral and mental healthcare. The cost of mental healthcare often limits access to therapy services. The lack of financial resources can lead to inconsistent or inadequate treatment.
