Hello, My name is Racheal Poole and l I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York State. I am very passionate about this work and have been doing it for awhile. Although I specialize in helping people who have experienced trauma. I am able to assist with many other things as well. I am always getting more training so I can share the most up to date information possible.
I use a trauma informed; strength based approach. I will listen to your concerns with empathy and understanding. We will identify and use your strengths to build up areas of your life that you desire to improve. We will set goals together based on your needs and assign homework for review as appropriate. We will formulate a plan based on your goals to help you to move forward. As you move forward I will come along side you to encourage and empower to reach your goals.
In our first session we will get to know each other a little better. We will talk about your reasons for coming and what you hope to accomplish. I will ask you questions and answer any questions you may have. We will initiate a goal to guide our time together. In subsequent sessions: I will check in to see how you are doing; we will review any homework and implement our agreed upon plan.
