How Do We Work ?
Personalized, client-centered therapy approach to ensure the best possible outcomes. Here's an overview of how we work together :

Observation and Assessment
A combination of formal/informal assessments is conducted over the course of three to four sessions. This process helps in identifying specific areas of concern and the strengths of the individual.

Individualized Therapy Plan
Based on the information gathered, I create a highly personalized therapy plan. This plan outlines the specific goals, strategies, and interventions needed to address the client's unique challenges.

Therapy sessions are scheduled based on the individual's case requirements. The frequency of sessions can vary, with options for biweekly, monthly or as needed, depending on the client's specific needs and goals.
