There is no "ideal" client in my books; we are all different and are in need of differing approaches. My role is to meet that need. It is helpful when clients come to therapy motivated for change and open to feedback. Although my specialty is chronic illnesses; I welcome anyone into my practice. I strive to create an inclusive and safe space for my clients. We tend to feel powerless in stressful and upsetting situations. Our perceptions of the world influence how we feel, think and behave. My focus is to help patients see the power and control that they have over their feelings and actions. By acknowledging the power that we have over our own lives, we help ourselves choose better behaviors.
