Dear Future Client,

 

I want you to know that you are not alone. Whatever you are going through, I am here for you. Taking the first step into seeking counseling can be scary but you are very brave for doing so and I'm glad you're here.  This means you are ready to heal, to learn, to embrace a new you and if you're not, that is alright too. We are all a work in progress. My counseling approach is to work with you to bring forth the knowledge and strength you already possess in order for you to live your best life. I want you to know that this is a safe space, that you can talk to me about anything; you can cry, you can laugh, you can be angry, it’s all good, we are all human. Do not feel embarrassed in any way, you will not be judged here. I also want you to know that you do not have to share anything that you are not comfortable sharing. You will not be pushed into talking about anything you are not ready to talk about. If you find that I ask a question and you do not want to discuss the topic, you can say so and I will move on. You should also know that it is alright to disagree with me. Just because I am a Counselor, does not mean I am always right. You can disagree with me and I will not be offended in the least. These counseling sessions are for you and for you to get the most out of them. So with that said, let's begin this journey of self-discovery. Click "Contact" and I look forward to meeting you. 

​

Sincerely, 

​

Claudia Abalo, LMHC
