Here are some key aspects of individual therapy with Valerie Medina:

Assessment and Goal Setting

In the early sessions, Valerie will conduct a biopsychosocial assessment to understand the individual's background, concerns, and goals. Together, they collaboratively set therapeutic goals and discuss the desired outcomes of the therapy.

Confidentiality

Sessions are held in private and what is discussed between the individual and the therapist is kept typically confidential within legal and ethical limits. This creates a safe space for individuals to share their thoughts and feelings.

Limitations of confidentiality include informing appropriate authorities to ensure safety for those involved if someone shares concerning information to a licensed therapist.

Therapeutic Relationship
