What should a new client know about working with you?
I hope to offer a fresh approach to mental health treatment. My practice model is low-volume, yet high quality care. This allows the time needed to personalize your care and provide treatment options that address root causes and offer integrative approaches to management. Additionally, in order for you, your family, or your loved one to trust the work we will do, my goal is to make each session a collaborative experience.
My approach to treatment involves looking at the best science and evidence available to help make the most informed decisions on treatment options for you. However, your own life story, strengths, and interests (art, music, sports, your philosophy, etc.) will be relied upon to help find the best avenues towards your idea of a good quality of life.
Ultimately, it will be the combination of evidence-based data, your story, and our alliance that will determine what road to take. The point of this transparency is for you to know who you’ve decided to put your trust in.
At the time we schedule our first visit, you will receive forms to complete, sign and send back before the first session. Our first session is mostly about getting to know each other. You can share what you would like to focus on during sessions and we will begin to create a plan of how to work towards your goals. You are free to ask me any questions about my style and what to expect. During our initial few visits, we will explore what you would like to get out of care. A thorough medical, psychiatric, family, social, educational, and work (if applicable) assessment will be done to get to know you and/or your child better. Thereafter, we will explore your concerns further, sometimes going deeper to better understand what is going on. We will discuss strategies, tools, and techniques for dealing with the stress and issues and see how things improve.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I do provide supportive, focused, and insight-oriented therapy to adolescents and young adults. Overall, therapy is best for many individuals when it aims to be brief. Therapy is often most effective when the provider is direct and transparent (i.e., therapy is a collaborative process, not something magically done by the therapist to the patient). During the course of therapy, you notice a benefit and improvement in the concerns you first brought to therapy. However, we will need to consistently check in about progress and how you are feeling about care. Therapy works best when the person of focus is motivated for change.
There are times improvements are not immediate and if there is no improvement or benefit, we will talk about alternatives that may be helpful.
Note: There are times where medications are not necessary. Before we consider starting a medication in treatment, we will ensure there is no other strategy that can work without needing to try a medication. Prior to starting, I will need your consent and understanding all the risk and benefits.
Though I will recommend the approach best supported by peer-reviewed scientific studies, choice of treatment modality is a personal decision. Implementing any treatment must be adapted carefully to meet the specific needs of the person or people seeking treatment.
