Not one strategy fits all clients. I use a variety of modalities during therapy. The most commonly used is solution focused therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy with a mix of mindfulness therapy.

The first session is easy my goal is to make you comfortable and to determine if we will be a good fit to continue therapy. I will ask multiple questions to complete an assessment and to determine why you are seeking therapy as well as discuss the goals you prefer to work on during therapy.
