I am a practicing licensed mental health counselor in Buffalo NY and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community. I firmly believe in a Harm Reduction approach to life, not just providing therapy for clients. I also emphasize the importance of the relationship that is therapy and the communication that takes place in the therapeutic environment. I understand the importance of trust in your treatment provider and put my all into reinforcing that my clients can trust me with their deepest. No shame or judgement allowed. That's not my job and would be significantly counterproductive to our goal of change. Shame in treatment, not here. ADV
When I begin treatment with any new client, I have several initial goals I have to meet in order to be effective. I have to gain trust, which can be very difficult. I have to convince clients that they're capable of change, which can also be a challenge. Lastly, I have to convince clients that they're worth all of this. The biggest hurdle and my favorite.
As a fellow human being, I have a history that may be similar to some client experiences. Being a therapist with lived experience has shown to be quite beneficial to the therapy I practic with my clients. When I say, "I get it", they know I do. I'll never walk in a clients shoes, no. But I may have a similar pair from the same shop where a client got theirs.

Harm Reduction approach. Nonjudgmental and refuse to "yuck anyone's yums". Embarrassment wld hurt the therapeutic relationship. Shame creeps up when others react negatively to acts/ behaviors/ thoughts/beliefs we engage in or experience. People have been conditioned to react certain ways to session content that may be taboo. No shame equals freedom to increase honesty for more effective treatment
