This profession is personal for me because growing up I never saw many people who looked like me that were therapist. Additionally, I wanted to erase the mental health stigma in the African American community and bring awareness that just because a person seeks therapy does not mean they are crazy. In my opinion, everyone could use therapy. I don't know anyone that does not have some issues that he or she can be working on in therapy.
I believe the therapist and client are to collaborate to set goals based on the goals the client wants to work on. I believe goals should be prioritize. Sometimes clients present with a host of issues but what I have discovered is when the main issue is solved, often times other issues will be solved or at least symptoms minimized.
Clients can expect a lot of open-ended questions so I can get to know who they are and what brings them to therapy. I would be collecting clients' history and assessing for symptoms, duration, and severity to obtain a diagnosis for insurance purposes.
