Hello my name is Nettie Clarke, and I am a mental health therapist. I have a masters in counseling and certificates in trauma and addiction. I have been working as a therapist for over 12 years. Currently I work with populations across different life spans from ages 6 - 80 years. I also work with people who are struggling with depressive symptoms, ADHD, anxiety, behavior issues and many more mental health issues.
My approach to therapy is an eclectic therapeutic style were a therapist draws techniques from various models like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Humanistic Therapy to create a customized plan.
During the first session, I will welcome clients warmly so they feel relaxed. I will introduce myself and share about my professional background. I will also share about the therapeutic process to make sure that it would be beneficial to the client. I will provide an opportunity for the client to share about themselves and the issues they are dealing with at that moment. I used active listening as the client will be talking. Based on mutual agreement I can start the assessment.
