When you begin therapy, Above all you should expect a warm, therapeutic and confidential environment that is compassionate, empathetic, and safe.
An initial session will begin by gathering a full Biopsychosocial assessment that will assess for biological, psychological and sociocultural influences that may contribute to a problem that a client has begun therapy for. My role as your Therapist is to offer insights into your experiences with realistic thoughts and ideas while providing structure, reflective and empathetic listening and truly hear what your treatment goals and direction are in formulating a treatment plan that is individualized to each client.
