My clients are looking to be heard in a safe space.
They are looking to create meaning from their experiences.
They are interested in exploring their strengths and community.
I take a relational approach which affords clients to honor their pace in unpacking difficult experiences and develop a strong collaboration in treatment. I also use a multicultural and systemic lens which gives room to deepen a client’s understanding of their cultural values and identify challenges that may contribute to their current functioning.
You've gotten the courage to bring yourself to this search. Take that next small step for one session. And remember, you are in control from beginning to end in this process.
