Bridgette Washington

My communication style

I'm empathetic, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and easy-going. I'm aware that I have to meet the needs of each individual client, so I'll build rapport to make sure that the client feels comfortable.

My journey to mental healthcare

Since I was a child, I had a passion for helping people in need. People tend to be very open with me and they feel comfortable talking to me about difficult situations that have transpired in their life. I'm aware of childhood trauma and how beneficial therapy is to address trauma.

My goals for you

After intake and during the initial assessment, attainable goal setting will be established by asking the client to list or discuss the reason why they sought out therapy and what they are hoping to change. Goal setting helps create a plan of what the client hopes to achieve or accomplish.

Our first session

An introduction, intake, discuss the different aspects of confidentiality, and ask what their reason for seeking therapy is.
