Tom Westin

My communication style

I want you to feel seen, heard, and understood. I will do my best to create a space for you to explore your experience and your concerns, and I have been told that I have a calm and nonjudgmental presence. I may check in with you from time to time to see if the direction we are going in is helpful, or if we need to take a different approach.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was initially drawn to psychology due to a strong curiosity to understand myself and the people around me, and to see if there were ways to make our lives just a little bit easier. I have enjoyed learning about and immersing myself in various approaches to healing, and then sharing those with clients in therapy sessions.

My goals for you

We will discuss what is bringing you in, as well as what you would like to achieve in therapy, which could be as straightforward as wanting to feel better. Your goals may change over time, and we will check in regularly about what seems to be most needed at the time.

Our first session

A first session with me will give you space to talk about what is bringing you in at this particular time, during which I may ask questions to gather more information about you and to help me understand how you are feeling about your situation. We will then work collaboratively to identify what you would like to achieve in therapy.

I identify as...

• Male
• Caucasian or White
