My Approach to Helping
My role is to open the space for my clients to gain an understanding of their purpose, themselves, and the world around them through relational and scientific-based practices. I create a holistic environment that capitalizes on diversity and meets the needs of my clients by offering a variety of learning methods.
To properly offer adequate space for growth, I must first understand who I am and how my presence resonates with others. That being said, I align my philosophy with my theoretical orientation. I do not present as all-knowing, or an expert on life, however, I offer a space of credibility. I am skilled in several theoretical orientations, multicultural competencies, creative expressions, and counseling techniques. I integrate real-life experiences to help my clients increase their creative and intuitive knowledge. I encourage my clients to use critical thinking and creativity when processing information. To do so, I offer a range of pedagogical methods that target inclusivity, personal learning goals, experimental learning, case method learning, and problem-based learning to help my clients grow not only within their business but as self-directed individuals.
I teach clients how to develop their identity. I encourage clients to be ambitious, driven, and accountable for their decisions. I challenge my clients by emboldening them to question things when they are skeptical or researching when they need more understanding. I support their journey while also instilling an atmosphere of set expectations so personal growth cannot only be pursued but also sustained.
I endeavor to provide my clients with the space to explore their truth.
With Intention, Sarafina
