I really applaud clients that are willing to acknowledge they are facing a challenge that needs serious and honest attention. Clients that can rise to the occasion and push beyond their "comfort zones" to collaborate with their therapist, build trust and establish a mutual positive rapport. Clients that are able to be a bit vulnerable if it means gaining some traction for success during our therapy sessions.
I will honor the clients' confidentiality and commit to being non-judgmental. I will provide a safe and secure clinical environment where my client and I can feel comfortable exchanging our feelings and thoughts. I will strive to promote positive interventions and opportunities for problem solving solutions.
I am a mature African American male therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples and families. I look forward to helping my clients better understand the underlying issues causing them discomfort and challenging their success in life. We will work together to find effective solutions. So, let's get to work !
