Message to clients

I want you to feel completely at ease in sharing your thoughts and feelings in a safe, nonjudgmental space. I started WayneWay Counseling to provide individualized care for people who are ready to take steps toward improving their mental health. My focus is on truly understanding your unique needs and working together to create a plan tailored specifically to you. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and I want you to feel in control of your journey. I am always open to feedback and want this to be a collaborative process where your voice is heard and valued. My goal is to help you feel supported, empowered, and confident as we work toward your goals together.

In the first session, we’ll begin to identify patterns or areas you’d like to explore, and I’ll explain how we can work collaboratively to create a personalized plan that meets your needs. This is also a time for you to ask any questions you have about the counseling process or my approach. I want you to feel in control of your journey and know that I am here to support and guide you every step of the way. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path forward.
