What do I expect now that I am a client?

You’ve decided to take the plunge and receive counseling; you’ve booked the appointment, signed the informed consents... It is quite common to wonder what the counseling process will look like and you may ask yourself “Now what?”  At Afangideh Therapy our clients are more than customers to us, they quickly become people that we build a close therapeutic relationship with. a part of the Afangideh Therapy family.  In this post, we will discuss what to expect when you join our practice as a client. 

Professionalism- We provide timely and prompt services and communication from trained individuals.  

Confidentiality-  We adhere to the guidelines of HIPPA and the American Counseling Association code of ethics with keeping information between clinician and clients. You do not have to worry about anything that you say in therapy being repeated as confidentiality is an ethical obligation that we owe our clients, one that we take very seriously.

Authenticity- No one desires a cliché - prone and robotic therapist; we are authentic, bringing our uniqueness and genuine self to the counseling field in a way that allows us to show positive regard and empathy to our clients. 

Multicultural- We openly welcome and celebrate diverse backgrounds and lifestyles. 

Comfort- We pride ourselves in being a practice that provides a safe space for our clients to grow in and work towards their goals. 

Client- Centered Therapy- We believe our clients are the ones leading the therapeutic process while we are their main source of support.  Your therapy will be tailored for you, driven by you with our assistance and emotional support throughout the whole process.  

As famously quoted by Maya Angelou “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” At Afangideh Therapy we hold ourselves to this ideal and treat our clients with care.  We are excited when people choose to invest in their mental well being and look forward to being part of this journey with them.
