I enjoy doing psychotherapy with a diverse group of clients. If there is such a thing as an "ideal client", I believe that it is someone who is ready to make changes in his/her life, who is tired of being "stuck", who is dissatisfied with the current situation, and is seeking a therapist to help him/her begin the process. I learned long ago that I can't change anyone, but I can help clients use the therapeutic alliance to begin to focus on self-empowerment and self-efficacy. Some "ideal clients" also need time to consider readiness for change (which can be risky), and that's okay too! I start wherever clients are.
