Okay, I'm not going to talk about my cases here, but I did want to address the type of clients I work with. Many times, I get calls from potential clients stating, "I see you work with couples, but will you work with my issues even though I'm not a couple?"
I do a lot of marketing towards couples because it's an area that I'm very passionate about. My graduate program got me excited about working with couples after taking a 16-week course on couples counseling. From that point, I was hooked! I attend a lot of seminars on couples counseling to keep my skills fresh and I, in turn, provide better skills for my clients.
On the other hand, I like working with individual clients as well. It's exciting to have an individual client contact me. Hearing the motivation in your voice to want to work on whatever issue it is that is plaguing you really impacts me. Working in an one-on-one environment allows us to really delve into the presenting issues without distraction, which can happen in couples counseling.
I want to note that I maintain my practice for those 18 years of age and older. While I am qualified to work with minors, it isn't my forté and I don't feel that I can provide the services needed. However, I do have a close network of therapists who I confidently make referrals to and will provide potential clients appropriate referrals if we find that I am not the right "fit" for you.
If you have further questions about the clientele I provide therapy to, please leave me a comment and I'll respond as quick as I can.
