I am nonjudgmental and open-minded
I approach the conversations without preconceived notions or judgements
I encourage openness and honesty
Let the clients know that they can speak freely and their honesty is appreciated and important
CBT for changing negative thought patterns
Psychodynamic therapy for exploring unconscious influences and humanistic approaches
Clients can expect their first session to a be safe, confidential, and welcoming space to discuss their reasons to seeking help and to establish a rapport
Goals include defining their primary issues, setting initial treatment objectives, and assessing the therapeutic fit
