Questions
What should I expect during my initial counseling session?
Your first session will focus on discussing your concerns and treatment goals. I'll ask about your presenting issues and previous counseling experiences, then explain my evaluation process to determine our treatment approach together.
Can you help with issues not listed in your service areas?
Yes, while my website lists common treatment areas, each client's experience is unique. We'll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and circumstances during our initial sessions.
What makes your counseling approach different?
I use an integrative approach combining multiple evidence-based therapies, customizing sessions to each client's needs. This flexible methodology allows more effective treatment than adhering to a single theoretical approach.
Do you offer both secular and faith-based counseling options?
Yes, I provide both traditional counseling and Christian counseling that incorporates Biblical principles, allowing clients to choose the approach that best aligns with their personal beliefs and values.
How do counseling sessions typically work?
Sessions involve guided discussions to explore issues, develop coping strategies, and track progress toward goals. I act as a facilitator while you do the work of self-discovery, with treatment approaches adapting to your evolving needs.
