About

**** THANK YOU FOR BOOKING WITH NATALIE SOLAN. WITHIN 48 HOURS FROM BOOKING, YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM TO COMPLETE A 5-10 MINUTE PRE-SCREEN. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO REACH YOU, YOUR APPOINTMENT WILL BE CANCELED. **** The client would be experiencing a stressful life transition, such as divorce or getting laid off from their employer, and exhibiting depression symptoms. Depression symptoms would include self-criticism, hopelessness, feelings of worthlessness, isolating, and feeling overwhelmed. They would express the need to return to the previous functioning to handle the life stressor and feel like themselves again. The client and therapist would collaborate on creating goals. I would provide active listening and validate the client's feelings. I would explore evidence of their beliefs of worthlessness. I would encourage the client to examine the evidence and gently acknowledge discrepancies. I would help reduce negative automatic thoughts with cognitive restructuring. This sounds like a very difficult situation and I'm sorry you're going through this. Thank you for opening up to me and sharing your hardships. I want to let you know that I'm here for you and want to encourage you to reach out to me if you need extra support.
