Getting to know Rita Worlock

Hi there, I'm Rita! With 15 yrs. of experience (academic & professional), I find unique solutions that challenge my clients. I am fully knowledgeable about current thinking in human services and practice. Open 7 days a week for in-office and online sessions; I see clients ages 2 to 102! My focus I focus on seeing the person beyond the behaviors that may make the issues difficult to treat. I want to understand what my clients have experienced, the barriers affecting their ability to engage in treatment, and the strengths they already possess. Rather than labeling clients as resistant or difficult, I would approach them with patience. My approach I am direct, authentic, empathetic, compassionate, creative, and simple in my approach. I like to go deep in my collaborative work with my clients, yet I don't take myself too seriously. am committed to a person-centered, systemic approach that promotes independence. My communication style My goal is to build trust, establish realistic goals together, and help clients develop coping skills. These strategies will support meaningful change. I also recognize the importance of maintaining professional boundaries, which supports growth. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a provider has been long and arduous, and I'm grateful for the experience. I became a provider because so many challenging populations need help, and there aren't enough educated professionals to meet the need. For me, the more challenging the case, the more curious I become My goals for you I collaborate with clients because it promotes autonomy and independence, so they can learn to advocate more on their own. Our first session I would make sure the patient clearly understands what to expect from our work together.
