My journey to mental healthcare Always wanted to be in the helping field, what drives me is my biological father being an alcoholic and that is what initially interested me in helping others. My goals for you Shenetra allows the clients to list every therapeutic goal and then choose the one most prevalent that they would like to work on first to start. My first session with you Clients should expect for me to ask a lot of questions to gauge their background information to allow for the next sessions to go directly into counseling.
