If the client is looking for deeper dives into their relationships with themselves or others I may pull more from family systems or interpersonal, trauma focused frameworks.
I imagine you have read many of these profiles trying to find the right therapist for yourself or someone you care about. This can be an overwhelming experience, however, the relationship between the client and therapist is vital to the therapeutic process.
