Getting to know Michael Kidder

Have been working as a therapist for the past 3 years and have worked in mental health for over a decade. Enjoy getting the opportunity to help others while collaborating in the treatment process with the client. My approach I like taking a client-centered approach, giving the client the opportunity to guide their treatment while telling their story and sharing their experiences during the treatment process. My focus Enjoy working with clients with a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Have worked with clients struggling with anxiety and depression, as well as clients with histories of trauma and grief. My communication style Coming from a social work background, I have developed a strong sense of empathy for others and their struggles through life, using reflective listening techniques to allow clients to guide the healing process and tell their story. My journey to mental healthcare Growing up with trauma as a child and living through trauma as an adult has motivated me to help others in dealing with their own difficult circumstances. My goals for you Will work on identifying and targeting problematic symptoms that the client would like to address, as well as setting goals as to where they would like to see themselves in the future. My first session with you First session will be in getting to know one another while finding out what style works best for the client as well as identifying symptoms and goals that the client would like to work on during therapy.
