I am intuitive and open minded. I believe it is important for the client to be safe and comfortable to share the good and the bad. If you feel an approach is not working feel free to be honest about this in session so we can discuss options to get past stuck points.
I have experience supporting youth with developmental disabilities and co-occurring mental health disorders. Over time, I transitioned to working with adults, with a special focus on Military Veterans and the unique experiences they carry.
First session would be to gather information and build rapport. Some history of course and then focus on reasons for starting therapy or continuing therapy with a new therapist. Formulate some basic goals or ideas of what you would like the future to look like.
