After nearly two years of a client suppressing their grief and utilizing maladaptive coping skills, through treatment, this client was able to recognize the need to process his grief and how suppressing their grief and letting it go unaddressed was negatively affecting multiple areas of their life that hindered daily functioning.
Clients can expect a therapeutic and professional relationship with transparency while collaborating together. Clients can expect to address their unique needs and feelings while being respected and validated to create effective treatment plans. Clients can expect me as their clinician to follow evidence-based practices to support and help guide them throughout the therapeutic process of therapy.
An initial session generally focuses on establishing a comprehensive understanding of the client and the issues they are presenting, while offering support and honoring their readiness for therapy. Clients can expect to initiate the process of developing a therapeutic rapport, as well as have the opportunity to pose any questions or express concerns regarding the commencement of treatment. Furthermore, discussions will encompass any goals the client may have in mind, as well as assist in fostering awareness of potential objectives for their therapeutic journey.
While it may be considered a cliche, the timeless wisdom of Gandhi resonates deeply: "Be the change you want to see in the world." I firmly believe that society would greatly benefit from individuals who embody compassion and emotional awareness. Reflecting on my own experiences, I am profoundly grateful for the emotional support I received while navigating traumatic events throughout my life. Had I access to such support earlier, I could have addressed past challenges more effectively, facilitating a more rapid journey of healing and personal growth. As a therapist, I aspire to offer that invaluable support to others, fostering their healing and development.
