SERVICE | APPROACH
AC&I MODEL + CBT|ERP + PERSON-CENTERED LENS
As a person-centered clinician, I make it a point to ALWAYS take into account the person in front of me. The truth is, you are the expert of your life. This is true in every sense, not just mental health. In observing this I breakdown my approach with 3 major values which I like to call the AC&I - Authenticity, Candor, and Integrity. Why these three? Because each one of them on their own is a coveted trait and/or skillset to have when operating in many professional capacities (obviously if you are a spy or whatnot you may disagree). Regardless, it is a combination of these values that I am looking at, paired with a person-centered lens that we can achieve your goals together.
This means I will not be talking at you, lecturing you, or requiring you to listen to the melodious sound of my voice for a long duration of time. Instead, it means I will be challenging you, providing supportive suggestions and allowing you to have a mirror into how you approach people, tasks and perspectives. This is a very collaborative, yet personalized approach I take for each client and person I work with. If all this sounds right up your alley - let’s talk. If you’re unsure - a free consult doesn’t bite. If I’m not your cup of tea - that’s fine, sometimes instead of tea, coffee will do the trick. I appreciate you regardless of our outcome and I have some items below so take a gander.
Be 100% you. Whether it’s a staff member, supervisor or client, it is always apparent when you are not being real. This is a part of my approach because I believe every single professional has a way of putting the best parts of themselves into the work they do. This doesn’t just make for a great leader or professional but also for yourself. Knnowing you are not compromising yourself allows you to be more open to change, processes and perspectives that previously may have felt intimidating.
As my service name would suggest, candor calls on us in some of the best and challenging ways. Honesty is often the best policy, especially if you are in a field where others rely on you. Ultimately - staff, colleagues, and clients will appreciate your candor and transparency more often than not. Does this mean you give people the cut and dry - no. What it does mean however, is that you become more intentional with how you are communicating to others in an honest yet meaningful way. You will find that both your environment and your inner conscious feel lighter.
If I don’t practice what I preach I wouldn’t make for a good consult. Each client is an entire experience, from start to finish. This experience is about pushing yourself in new ways and allowing yourself the grace learn and stumble along the way. As slated above, you will have my full 100% presence and we will find the plan that works best for you.
