An idea client can be answered different depending on each therapist, but I would have to say that my idea client is one that is motivated and are ready to work, Open-minded, flexible, adaptable and are curious about themselves. Also, the idea client is consistent (with payment & appointments) and will tolerate pain for growth if necessary. Through therapy, we ask clients to step beyond where they are, and what limits them. Defining my ideal client is simply me as a therapist, asking myself to do the same thing. As a therapist, I should be able to do what my client, through therapy, will be doing. Without fear.
Clients come to therapy for numerous reasons, and it is my goal and purpose to help the client to facilitating behavioral change. It is also my purpose to help improve the client’s ability to both establish and maintain relationships. My goal is to assist in enhance the client’s effectiveness and their ability to cope and promote the decision-making process
Do you feel like you are on autopilot and just going through the motions or no one really understands you well search no further because I have been in this field since 2014 while studying and applying psychology-based tools and have even worked with children, individuals, couples, and families to become more engaged and fulfilled in their relationships
