I work well with clients who are not sure they are sold on the idea that counseling can actually help. I have a great deal of experience with first responders, veterans, and healthcare workers. I like the skeptical clients. Sessions tend to feel like a surprisingly normal conversation that actually leaves you with new insight and awareness to help move toward your goals one step at a time.
