My ideal client is one who is an adolescent to young adult range. After working with this population for 15 years, I have seen a need for extended support outside of the school counseling realm. This is where many young people start seeking support and identify their needs. Sometimes school counseling cannot provide the time and attention needed to address the issue. The issues vary from depression, anxiety , lack of coping skills, self harm and other manifestations of an unresolved issue. If individuals work on addressing these concerns earlier rather than later, this leads to more success when dealing with life's struggles.
