What's My Approach to Therapy?
I take a person-centered approach to treating clients who feel like their previous counselor was not listening to them or new clients who just need someone to talk to. I engage clients in open and candid conversations about their concerns. When I first see a new client, I take the time to listen to their whole story of why they are seeking my services. I engage the client by reflectively listening to their concerns, and through reflective listening, they are able to answer the questions they have on their own. I will also utilize other techniques (like CBT or mindfulness exercises) if I feel it is necessary.
