WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
This can be simplified into 3 stages:
1) The intake: this is the first session where my goal is to develop a clear understanding of your needs, as well as gather relevant information from you in order to help you reach your goals.
2) A treatment plan is created by the therapist, in collaboration with the client. This process is a lot more fluid than you might imagine and can be in flux dependent on different needs that may arise. My goal in creating a treatment plan is to ensure that there is a general blueprint of how you can accomplish your goals with evidence based treatments/interventions. It ensures professional integrity.
3) The main phase of counseling includes building rapport, and integrating various interventions which can include processing emotions, examining negative belief/thinking patterns, psycho-education, creating healthy behaviors, examining attachment/childhood influences, etc.

DO MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST'S SEE INDIVIDUALS?
There is a common misconception that licensed marriage and family therapist's (LMFT's) only specialize in couples/family counseling. The same misconception exists for licensed professional counselor's (LPC's), that they only specialize in individual counseling. The truth is that every counselor is created differently. One of the main differences of LMFT's and LPC's may lie in their approach as LMFT's tend to view things systemically whereas LPC's tend not to.
LMFT's are trained and equipped to see individual's, couple's and families. In my professional experience, I have seen effective change in working with children, individuals, couples, and families.
