Linda Bramel

My communication style

Creating a safe place is paramount to being able to communicate effectively with my client. I tend to be direct, non-judgmental, and gracious in communication with clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been interested in others and why they do what they do. I try to imagine walking in my client's shoes. Others have commented on my good listening skills. Having worked through many issues in my own life gives me an appreciation of how difficult it is to learn new ways to cope and handle difficult issues.

My goals for you

First, working together to explore clients' experiences, desires, priorities, and values. Second, empowering the client to voice their own goals. Third, creating a plan with the client to achieve the client's goals.

Our first session

In the first session, it is important for me to get to know my client better and create an alliance in order to work together in the most effective way for the client to be able to attain goals we have decided upon.
