A safe, empathic therapeutic space for clients to make meaningful changes in their lives," "I help clients make meaningful and necessary changes for overall increased life satisfaction. I do this by providing a safe, non threatening and supportive setting for clients to "do their work" and create a therapeutic space where humor is allowed. If appropriate, a client's sense of their own spirituality is acknowledged and integrated as a resource of empowerment, to sort through feelings, thoughts and behaviors that either help or hinder them in achieving identified goals.

My ideal client is someone who demonstrates a genuine interest in change and personal growth. This individual is open to self-reflection and exploration, recognizing the significance of understanding past behaviors and patterns as a means to foster positive transformation. My ideal client values the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey and sees me as a supportive guide in navigating the complexities of their emotional landscape. This client is committed to embracing change, recognizing that self-awareness and an understanding of past behaviors are essential components in cultivating a healthier and more fulfilling life.

An example of an ideal client would be a mother who has recently become pregnant and is experiencing increased anxiety and depression symptoms. They are in need of emotional support and coping strategies. Their goals are to obtain healthy coping strategies to manage psychosocial stressors and increase symptoms.

My ideal client is a person who is seeking treatment and is aware of the reason why he/she/they want help. The person can be self-referred or referred by a provider, family, etc. The client is aware of their goals and objectives. The client is also okay with meeting weekly for 50 minutes and understands/agrees with the policies of the agency. The client is aware of and agrees with the limitations therapists have.

Due to my experience working in under-serviced mental health communities, my ideal clients would be those who are hindered from moving forward in life due to traumatic experiences or who have been unable to manage day-to-day functioning due to the many curve balls that life throws their way. I would like to assist those who would like to return to their own version of normal functioning to improve their quality of life.

Coming from a Lead Clinician role for a Virtual Partial Hospitalization (PHP) Program, I don't believe in an "ideal" client. In my previous role, we rarely had insight into a client's clinical presentation before their intake. I have learned to tailor my approach to each client while aiding them in learning emotional regulation techniques and interventions to sustain sobriety.

My ideal client is someone who is experiencing anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma. Ideal clients experiencing these challenges will want to grow, utilize self-reflection, and find ways to cope with personal challenges. Goals could include establishing and maintaining relationships, practicing coping skills, changing behaviors, healing from trauma, and building positive habits. By incorporating CBT and DBT techniques, I will help you develop healthier thought patterns, establish and maintain healthy relationships with yourself and others, and develop skills to manage and tolerate stress.
