Having struggled with the decision to seek therapy myself, I understand that it takes courage to acknowledge and take action towards bettering one’s mental health. I congratulate you on taking this first step. I view therapy as an opportunity to understand oneself, as a form of self-care, and a well-deserved time dedicated to just one’s own needs. Therefore, my therapy style is collaborative: we will work together in setting goals and working towards them. I want to create a supportive environment for us to engage in an open and honest dialogue, which will form the basis of our work together.
