Hi! My name is Jaime Bohan and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor. In my counseling sessions, I offer compassion and positive regard which helps individuals explore topics, challenge negative beliefs and reframe unhealthy thoughts. Clients can expect a partnership, a judgement free space with opportunity for insight, acceptance and understanding.
My approach
Approach for providing therapy is an integrative/holistic style. Depending on where our journey will take us, different approaches may be utilized, such as cognitive behavioral, and humanistic approaches.
My focus
Typically clients that I work with are family issues, interpersonal relationships, self esteem building. Specifically, anxiety disorders, depression, self regulation challenges, gender identity, challenging family dynamics.
My communication style
My communication style is person centered, and positive. I reflect on client statements, feelings and do challenge and question. I find my approach to be direct, and solution focused at times, but focused on building on individual strengths and encouragements.
My journey to mental healthcare
Some people say they were inspired by one person in their life that guided them or helped drive them into a career field. For me, it was the lack of connecting and finding a person that I needed during adolescence and early adulthood that has caused me to go into a career to help others. For years I have worked in a school system as a counselor, and now have expanded my work as an LPC because I want to be available to others who are searching for that person to help guide them. I want to be that person that will be non-judgmental, that will be their cheerleader, and be there to partner with them along their journey.
My goals for you
Goal setting is a collaborative approach. The hope is that the client is entering counseling with an intention for change in some fashion. So learning and listening to the clients goals are, and revisiting those goals to ensure we are on a path to meeting those goals are important. Ensuring that the goals are realistic, but recognition of client growth in unique and individual ways at critical times is key.
My first session with you
I believe that the 1st session is about getting to know each other, and what the client is looking for, and if I can provide what they need. Hearing about the clients presenting concerns, sharing my experiences, and seeing if together we can partner and work together collaboratively on this healing journey together.
