Hi,
I have had a multi-career life, in that I have been a Radiologic Technologist, Paramedic, middle and high school Science Teacher, Instructor, Assistant Professor, and CEO of a managed care organization. While I have worn a number of hats, I like supervision because it allows me to bring other experiences into the room. I like my students to think out of the box. Not everything is as we see it, so in order to better understand people, thinking out of the situation or being objective is what I advocate.
My process is direct. By that I mean, we talk about situations, whether it is in the student’s domain or mine, and we talk about how we could handle it. Many times, my students come up with great insights that can be used to help the patient. The process that I follow is the best that deals with the patient’s problems. Many times, we don’t come up with answers but, more questions that will lead the patient to the response. I make the meetings fun and interesting, so I get a very relaxed student. It is important to me that I get an honest representation, because that is how we learn. We sometimes may look at things from a different perspective, but that doesn’t make either one of us is wrong; It may just be another road to get to the same goal for the patient.
What makes me different? My orientation is different from most, since my background is very varied. Many people go into counseling/therapy/psychology as young students, with almost no worldly experience. I got into the counseling area after I was a CEO of a 350 employee company. I also have a Certificate in Human Resources and already have performed the human resource process. I also am a Florida Supreme Court Mediator certified in Family Mediation (Divorce) and in Circuit Civil mediation. Additionally, I work with divorcing couples in establishing a Parenting schedule, and I am certified in Collaborative Divorce, a new way to divorce without all the drama that people create. I have the real experience of dealing with people in difficult times and situations.
What I like to deal with is: ADD/HD, PTSD, and kids and adults with special learning needs. I believe that education is very important and when a child doesn’t get a successful education, it really upsets me. I work with teachers, neuropsychologists, educational psychologists, and psychiatrists in order to assist patients who need a more specialized approach. I learned a long time ago, that I don’t need to know everything, I just need to know where or whom to go to, to get the information. Maybe that is the secret, knowing where to get the information. If I could teach that to my students, then I have done the job correctly.
