Martin Bordson

My communication style

My style is caring, easygoing, non-judgmental, and respectful. I use mild humor at times to lighten the situation. I try to be fully present and listen actively, paraphrasing to ensure I'm truly understanding. I ask questions to help you gather insight and avoid interrupting unless clarification is needed.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up involved in community work and became fascinated with psychology after taking an introductory class. I've worked in various helping roles and enjoy seeing people overcome obstacles and find solutions to be happier in life. I want to make a difference and contribute to improving mental health and joyfulness in this world.

My goals for you

Goal setting is done collaboratively. I assist you in coming up with goals that are pertinent to your life, specific, attainable, and realistic. Then we create a plan of action. It's important that you work on goals between sessions so you can see progress, feel empowered, and have a greater sense of direction.

Our first session

During the first session, I do my best to make you feel comfortable while asking questions and clarifying information. It's a balance between being attentive and cordial while learning the issues at hand. I allow you to ask questions and talk about your concerns, and I explain the process of therapy in a general way.
