Thomas Wilson, LPC- Conditional
I'm so glad that you're taking the first step and reaching out, congratulations! As a trained clinician and someone who has benefited from therapy myself, I know how terrifying it can be to consider talking to a counselor. My goal with all of my clients is to put them at ease by caring for and accepting them just as they are, and to understand the issues they are facing. I don't see my clients as "projects to be worked on" but rather as people in need of real connection. I want to understand what you want, and why, so that I can tailor a treatment plan specific to your goals and expectations.
