What to Expect

     During our first meeting, we will explore your reasons for seeking input and your expectations of working together. Future goals will be identified, along with developing a strategy plan to bridge the gap between your current circumstances and the life you would like to lead. We will evaluate whether this type of input will be beneficial to you and discuss the process. 

     In each session, we will review progression from the previous one to identify which strategies worked and evaluate any difficulties. Specific goals and practical tasks will be planned, which can be worked on between meetings. Regular sessions over time ensure that you master implementing strategies necessary to experience significant change.

     Sessions are solution focused. They are concentrated on your current circumstances and improving upon them. The benefit of working in this manner, is by having a supportive environment with accountability. This helps maintain momentum, and in turn, you are moving towards your goals more efficiently.

    Dr. Church is working as a life coach which is aimed for people who are looking to make a change to their current circumstances. It is not for assessment and treatment of mental illness or prescribing medication. Her background as a psychiatrist brings depth to her knowledge, but she is not working in that capacity.
