When developing treatment plans, I start with a thorough assessment of the client's needs, goals, and challenges. This collaborative process involves engaging the client in open dialogue to ensure their values and preferences guide the direction of the treatment. I emphasize evidence-based practices and regularly review and adjust the plan based on client progress.

In crisis situations, my first strategy is to remain calm and assess the immediate needs of the client. I use active listening to understand their feelings and provide a safe space for expression. Utilizing de-escalation techniques and integrating support from the team ensures the client feels supported, while immediate interventions are made if necessary.

I have successfully provided counseling services to a wide range of diverse populations, which has enriched my approach to therapy.
