The treatment process involves strong therapeutic alliance that is key to allowing the working relationship to develop in a unique way that encourages safety for our clients. This is critical to how we can move throughout the treatment process and effect change for our clients when inviting them to make the changes needed. We can then develop strategies to meet client goals and practice them in session together before assigning it for homework to solidify new skills. This process is two-fold in that it strengthens skills and improves self confidence for clients to reach the objectives towards mental health well-being.

Welcome to Vilma’s Therapy Corner

A haven where you can sort things out and see if you’re ready to work on what you came looking for and how you will get there. Motivation and Resistance will come up and fluctuate and that’s okay. Supportive listening will take over until you are ready. This is the dance of water, ebbing and flowing on some days and motionless on others, needing to thread water until feeling safe. I will go with the rhythm of my client’s movements because to push towards an outcome that a client is not ready to take is to expend energy where it will be needed later.

I want to honor this process while preparing to engage in the active work that will get my clients the results they are looking for when seeking professional help. Individualized treatment plans will then be developed in collaboration with clients to reach their goals using effective strategies towards self-actualization so they can become their own best therapist.
