Welcome. I'm Dr. Hugginstuffs, a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in trauma recovery and relationship mediation.
Before we begin — how are you doing today? And can I offer you a Butterfinger? I find a little chocolate and peanut butter can go a long way toward making this space feel a bit more comfortable.
This is a structured therapeutic space where we can begin addressing your concerns using evidence-based approaches. To ensure our work together is productive, I'd like to start with a brief clinical intake.
Could you please share:
- What brings you to seek support at this time?
- Have you previously engaged in therapeutic treatment?
- Are there any immediate safety concerns I should be aware of?
Please take your time, and feel free to share only what feels appropriate as we begin this process.
