Getting to know Margaret Swanson

I am interested in hearing about the challenges you face. Meeting you where you are at is important because you are unique and deserve treatment tailored to you, each step of the way. My approach Listening to my client's narrative history from key times in the early years through to the present can be enlightening and offer an opportunity for self-reflection. Motivational Interviewing is a useful way to hear from my client through casual conversation. My focus Ideal clients are motivated to change and willing to try new skills to improve their coping with stressful situations through better communication, clearer boundary setting, and greater awareness of inner thoughts. My communication style i am told that my communication style is direct. Sometimes I can be gentle. There are times when being direct and challenge your thoughts is beneficial. Other My journey to mental healthcare At the beginning of my career, I was a home-based case manager for an organization serving those 60 years of age and older. After several satisfying years in my role, continued to work with nursing home residents and their families. I owned and operated a Social Work staffing business before having the opportunity to treat clients. My goals for you Together with my client, we develop an initial treatment plan that includes the initial goal, objectives, and interventions. Homework is an important part of the treatment. It offers an opportunity to practice new and old skills and show a level of commitment. My first session with you I will ask how familiar you are with remote therapy and if you can verbalize what brings you to therapy now. Telling me that you don't know is alright. I know I will need to earn your trust before you feel safe sharing your inner thoughts.
