Getting Started with Clients Facing Anxiety & Depression
A Structured Approach
Â
Beginning work with clients—especially those experiencing anxiety or depression—can be complex. It’s easy to miss important details that later interfere with progress: underlying risk factors, functional issues, or even a client’s level of readiness. This learning event provides practical ways to avoid these pitfalls from the outset of your work with clients.
During this free 45-minute live event with Dr. Patricia Rockman, you’ll learn how to establish a solid foundation for therapy, coaching, or counselling that you can return to whenever work gets pulled off track. You’ll learn how to assess risk factors and functional concerns, ask the right questions so critical factors aren’t overlooked, and develop a clear client contract with concrete, achievable goals.
Join us live, get inspired, and walk away with practices you can apply to optimize client success.Â
