Merav Auzenne

My communication style

I prioritize fostering a safe, trusting, and open environment for my clients. I create a non-judgmental, empathetic, and collaborative space where they feel encouraged to express themselves.

My journey to mental healthcare

I got my undergraduate degree in Business Administration back in Israel and worked as an economist, but I didn't feel fulfilled. I moved to NYC to pursue drama studies. It was powerful and intriguing. I discovered the role of performing arts in healing, and at that point, my path was clear; I realized my true desire to help others.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a space in which the clients will feel inspired to set and own their goals while recognizing that goals might evolve. I help clients identify their challenges, strengths, and values. Use tools like SMART, and I also break goals into manageable steps, assess potential barriers, and continuously track clients' progress.

Our first session

The first session is a get-to-know-you session; I will introduce myself, explain the session structure, and discuss confidentiality. I will also learn about the client's personal history, background, therapeutic history, struggles, expectations, and personal goals. This helps ensure that the client and I feel that I am a good fit for their needs.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Jewish
