How I Work With Students
I approach work with students by first identifying that each individual is doing their best regardless of circumstances. I believe students hold the strength and knowledge to overcome any obstacle presented before them. My approach to therapy is to validate feelings, thoughts, and emotions in hopes to support students in finding solutions and coping mechanisms for presenting issues. I believe the therapeutic relationship between the clinician and student is essential, and creates a safe environment for collaboration.
