You can share anything on your mind with me, and I will listen. At the start of our session, I’ll inquire if you desire feedback and, if so, the type and amount you prefer. My approach is to provide ample space for you to express yourself, while I serve as a supportive and empathetic listener. To ensure understanding and empathy, I may reflect some of your words back to you, asking, “Are you feeling…?” or stating, “It sounds like you’re feeling…” The level of this feedback can be tailored to your preferences.
However, please note that this is not psychotherapy. As I am not a licensed therapist, I cannot assist with serious issues such as chemical dependencies, past or present violent or abusive experiences, severe depression or anxiety, or serious thoughts of self-harm or harming others. While deep, compassionate listening can be very healing, if you are experiencing these challenges, I strongly urge you to seek a licensed counselor or healing professional, such as a clinical social worker, psychologist, or psychiatrist.
While we’re not licensed therapists, we’re here to provide support and a listening ear for whatever you may need – whether it’s sharing your feelings, laughing or crying together, or simply being there during difficult moments.
