| This website is an opportunity for a prospective client to begin to interview me to see if I would be a good fit for their counseling needs. Here are some common questions, as well as my best current answers:
Who are you? As you can tell from my picture, I’m a middle-aged woman, with beginning-to-gray hair and deepening laugh lines (both of which I’m proud of, because they’re earned from decades of life). Some things you can’t tell from looking at me: * I grew up in another country, and I have some idea of what it means not to fit into the majority culture, or even to look as if I could * I’m straight – and I try not to assume anything about my clients until they’ve told me who they are * some of the best praise I’ve gotten from any client was from a woman who told me, “You know, you’re really not bad for a white lady…” * after 21 years as a master’s-level counselor, there are still days I can’t believe my good luck in having found such a wonderful, honorable way to earn a living. |
