About

I don't have an "ideal" client. My typical client struggles with anxiety and depression; they are struggling with feeling like no one understands, and they feel silenced and unseen. Their goal might be to learn how to effectively live their life and engage in normal daily functioning with their symptoms, learning new coping skills that are helpful to them and building self-confidence. They want to feel heard and seen and not judged. We would discuss when the depression/ anxiety started and factors in their life that may have caused it. We would look at their daily routine and see where we can implement some skills needed to get through their days. If the client doesn't come up with their own goals, we would create some together, and here, we would focus on solution-based therapy.
