What should a new client know about working with you?
My name is Mary, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience helping clients navigate various challenges. As a Texas native, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from all developmental stages, including pediatric, adolescent, adult, and geriatric clients.
Throughout my career, I have developed expertise in a wide range of clinical areas, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, parenting challenges, career obstacles, and chronic pain/illness. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment for my clients, and I pride myself on building strong connections and fostering trust with everyone I work with.
I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Queens College in 1994, and my Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania in 1997. As a clinician, my approach is grounded in Solution Focused Therapy, and I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, meditation, and spiritual-based therapy.
I understand that navigating life can be challenging, but you don't have to do it alone. Whether you are struggling with a specific issue or simply looking for support to live a more fulfilling life, I am here to help. Let's work together to develop the tools and resources you need to promote positive change and improve your quality of life. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey towards healing and growth.
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.
