What should a new client know about working with you?
Hello, my name is Andrea. I am Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York State and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I have worked in various settings for over fifteen years to help adults effectively manage the impact of anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Empowering people to change and feel better about themselves is a result of providing guidance and support as they learn to build new skills.
I strive to develop a mutually respectful relationship and guide you toward your goals. I have an eclectic approach to providing therapy, and at times, may suggest an “out of the box” intervention to better illustrate how to achieve the desired result. Mindfulness activities, meditation and psychoeducation are beneficial to the healing process. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Person-Centered Therapy lend themselves to allowing for personal growth and self-expression.
My communication style is to be open and non-judgmental. I tend to use humor to reflect a comfortable and personable environment. Ultimately, the tone of our sessions will reflect calmness, compassion, and encouragement. It is a privilege for me to accompany you on your journey to build skills and develop coping strategies so you can reach your goal.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit
for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want
to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be
that person for you.
-Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you
and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals
and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you
will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and
behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear
understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to
trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also
important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important
to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as
exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be
willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different
techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important
to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
