What should a new client know about working with you?
Background: I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York State with 27 years of professional experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I have had the privilege to assist clients in navigating a wide array of issues that include learning to manage mental health disorders, the impact of trauma, grief and loss, and substance use disorders. My style incorporates a Humanistic approach and an emphasis on looking at people holistically with the assumption that when people have support and connection, they move toward health. I use a trauma-informed approach that incorporates features of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Over the years I have worked with people who are survivors of domestic violence or childhood abuse, trying to reclaim a sense of self worth after years of having their self-esteem eroded through verbal and physical violence. I have worked with teens and adults who are struggling to overcome symptoms of anxiety and depression and understand the dynamic of substance use disorders becoming intertwined with mental health issues.
Belief: People are not mathematical equations--we cannot simply solve for X. Life is organic and ever-changing, and human beings are complex. Circumstances change with times of loss or abundance. There are often no “right or wrong” answers, and no perfect solution except for creating balance. That may mean adopting intentional practices that bring calmness, turning in a different direction, and finding the confidence to take a risk or make a change; or, conversely, embracing “what is” with radical acceptance. With empathy and unconditional positive regard, I will partner with you to help raise awareness, define the problem, and offer validation to facilitate moving forward. At times, we need to be reminded of our unique gifts and personal power to help us heal past wounds.
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.
