"I Believe In Life On Life Terms" that mainly entailed the provision of counseling services to consumers of various ages in the homes/community reporting a history of trauma, abuse, economic poverty, homeless, lack of adult guidance, substance use that precipitated unhealthy learned behaviors to survive. The consumer’s needs were individualized based on the uniqueness of each personality and life dynamics. Within the therapeutic process and environment, the need was a genuine, safe environment of emotional support and acceptance towards desired changes.
To support a diverse population in a strength based, high-quality therapeutic counseling service, within a "no judgment zone", embrace of individuality and diversity in their environment. To promote a person centered, collaborative relationship building and consumer autonomy as the overseer of their healing and desired changes. "We Meet You Where You Are"!!
I firmly believe that building the therapeutic relationship is integral within the change process, and genuinely paralleling suggestions and recommendations rendered within the treatment process. I promote consumer autonomy as they are the experts of their life/desired changes. “You Matter, What You Do Matter, How You Do What You Do Matter”-Iyanla Vanzant.
