Greetings! Thank you for stopping by, my name is Tim Pharo, I have been a mental health professional for over 20 years. My orientation to counseling are 3 things. Self-improvement, Acceptance, and Spiritual awareness. I use several approaches with clients that come from modern-psychology to help them understand the science and themselves and spiritual/existentialism which is a psychotherapy and philosophy that addresses the human spirit. I hope to enjoy our work using techniques if applicable, socratic questioning, and hopefully to find relief and perspective throughout the counseling experience.
A first session is about relationship building (trust and competence), getting to the problem "what brought you here today", and discussing/planning a way forward. Included in that are some guidelines such as explaining duty warn, limits of confidentiality, financial responsibility, and the process of counseling.
