How do you ensure confidentiality in counseling?
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of my practice. I adhere to strict professional standards and privacy laws to protect your information. Details shared in sessions are kept private, except in rare circumstances as mandated by law, such as when there is a risk of harm to yourself or others. Your privacy and trust are of utmost importance.
What is your counseling approach?
My counseling approach is integrative and client-centered, focusing on tailoring the therapy to each individual’s unique needs and circumstances. I combine elements from various therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness techniques, to create a flexible and effective treatment plan. My goal is to provide a supportive, empathetic environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, develop new coping strategies, and work towards achieving your personal goals. Each session is a collaborative effort, with a strong emphasis on building a trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship.
What can I expect in my first counseling session?
In your first session, we’ll focus on understanding your background, current concerns, and therapy goals. It’s a chance for you to share your story and for us to begin building a strong therapeutic relationship. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask any questions and clarify your expectations of the therapy process.
