Getting to know Manda Miles

I feel like clients come to me with goals, and part of my job is first helping them understand what those goals are. Sometimes they're very obvious, but often they're more subtle. Once we've identified what is most important, I really want to help guide my clients in that direction. Goals often change(and that's ok!) but I never want people to feel like they're "stuck" for an indefinite period of time. My intakes are all about the client and myself getting to know each other.That means I ask a LOT of questions, in order to formulate a treatment plan, find and articulate goals, and discuss client preferences for the therapeutic process. I give the client plenty of opportunity and encouragement to ask me a lot of questions as well. I think therapy really shines when the process is collaborative. I'm not the expert on any client, and their contribution to the process outweighs my own.

What should a new client know about working with you?

It really depends on how clients want their sessions to go! I lean toward somewhat structured sessions but I am always asking for feedback on how clients' would like their sessions to flow. Some people love homework and want to spend time reviewing it; others definitely do not. I'm open to using a schedule in our sessions, or playing it by ear, however the client prefers.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I tailor the work to your expectations. Like directed, solution-focused sessions? No problem. A homework fan? You've got it. But if you're looking for a looser, psychotherapy-style session, we can do that to. I will solicit your input right at the start, and continue to ask for feedback as we work. I also love data, so measurements can figure into our work together, unless you prefer not.
