Anyone who tries to make the commitment to start therapy deserves a lot of credit! To me, therapy needs to be an individualized experience because talking to someone new is scary, none the less about your feelings. Which is why I have built an approach to ease into the process by combining three different components. The philosophy of "meeting the client where they are", prioritizing the therapeutic relationship, and creating an understanding of what you're hoping therapy looks like. From this point on, we would have the foundational tools to continue interpersonal care, but explore more evidence-based treatment modalities as well.
