I'm a clinical social work psychotherapist with a part-time practice, working exclusively with people in their 20s through their 40s. Let's talk about becoming psychologically-minded for you to make best use of this process and as we slow down to embark on this courageous journey.
Beginning psychotherapy is courageous and I commend you for taking this first step. We'll work collaboratively to listen for themes and patterns to emerge as we explore your relationship to your thoughts, feelings, body, people and the natural world. The psychotherapeutic journey results in a strengthened capacity for psychological and behavioral choice as well as for transforming recalcitrant wounds into compassion for yourself and others. Let's engage to unpack what's become gnarled. Learn how to listen to yourself.
I'll ask what prompted you to schedule. I'll ask how's your sleep, nutrition, activity, stress management since this is intertwined with mental/emotional health and I have experience in integrative health. I'll follow your lead and intervene as needed to gain an understanding of who I'm talking with in the service of your well-being.
