What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Pennsylvania. I have been providing counseling over 25 years in various setting. Although I work mostly with high functioning individuals on individual and couple issues in my private practice, I have worked with populations with chronic illness, care-giving issues, grief, trauma, treatment foster-care, severe mental illness through different agency settings. I have earned my Masters and PhD in Marital and Family Therapy as well as Master degree in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary in CA.??
As for understanding me as a therapist, I think it would be important for me to share how I see counseling. I believe we all struggle with one thing or another in life. Some of us were lucky to know what a wonderful thing it is to have a loving and patient friend that comes to our side and listen and offer help when we need it. Counseling is a lot like that, but with the understanding that we form a relationship of respect and care with a specific goal that will end when it is achieved. I believe my clients are made after the image of God that is destined to live in love and peace. We are given the strength and inner wisdom that will guide us as we navigate our life journey. I work with my clients to understand what my client wants to achieve and work together to find what is stopping the client from achieving the goal so we can find ways to achieve it. We share many moments of laughter and tears during the therapeutic journey and I am a firm believer that nothing in life is wasted. We will find meanings are strength that comes from all of life's struggle.??
Perhaps, the initial call/text/email is the most unnerving thing in the healing journey. You are reaching out to someone you have no reason to trust to assist you with very personal matters. However, I would like to share with you that I am also taking a risk trying to convince you to give me a chance to gain your trust (and counselors do get rejected at times).??
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.
