Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes a bit of courage and I am proud of you for getting started! My approach is very supportive and also very direct. The therapeutic alliance is one of the most important aspects of individual counseling. This is “your” session and I am never offended if you want to go in a direction I have not thought of or if you have questions about the overall process. Important note: Please note that therapists on the BetterHelp platform are rated by active clients as well as clients whom therapists have declined due to a plethora of reasons and in my case; scheduling seems to be the main reason I don’t accept a particular individual or their mental health needs are such that I know I am not the best match for their needs. These “non-clients” have the same opportunity to rate my work which in my short-time on the platform has been discouraging because my actual client ratings hover in the 4.7-5/5 in all areas. Having people whom I have not had any sessions get equal opportunity to rate my work has drastically skewed the ratings and I think you as a potential or actual client need to know how these ratings are formulated. Thank you and look forward to meeting you.
