We set goals, interventions, and crisis interventions. One of the goals was to have her husband come in to do couples therapy. She really wanted to work with her husband and get a better level of communication set up. So we were doing Solution Focused Therapy.…
Discuss how to write up a case of CBT according to Beck Case of cognitive behavioral therapy write up begins from the moment the client walks into the clinic. Case formulation entails all the information asked by the therapist and especially responses from the client. According to Beck (2011), it is very important that the therapist take notes from the onset of meeting the client, this will make case formulation easier to write up, serve as a reference back tool and minimize redundancy in questioning. The therapist will collect detailed case history such as; identifying information, chief complaint, History of present illness, psychiatric history, personal and social history, medical history, mental status check, and DSM-IV-TR Diagnosis (Beck,…
The third session will be developing and implementing the treatment plan with Iris in a collaborative effort. Session four will be to see how the treatment plan is going and if Iris wants to change anything. Sessions five through eight will be the maintenance of the treatment plan. Sessions nine and ten will be the termination phase of counseling and if any referrals are needed. My top three priorities will be making sure she lives at a safe location, finds a job, and finds affordable child care.…
The three parts to evidence based practice include: External Evidence, Clinical Expertise, and client/family wishes. External Evidence is research from a peer reviewed article. Clinicians use their knowledge on therapy goals to have the best therapy session. The clinician uses research they found to support their conclusion on the clients therapy goals. Clinical Expertise is data results that relate to the goal and discussing the client abilities or skills for that goal.…
Consulting with a Mental Health Provider Collaborator and Systems In efforts to provide consultation in my field of work, I approached a mental health consultant at Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (MSPCC).

Right now she is transitioning from mental health consultation to working as an in-home therapy supervisor at MSPCC. As a mental health consultant Rachel serves kids ranging from birth to 14 years of age.…
In this stage the therapist takes all the information shared throughout the stages and make a plan to go over with the family. An example of this stage includes if Brenda or Kay mentioned at the end of therapy that they would like a “100% supportive environment” we could work on the behaviors that support a supportive environment like communication styles, rules, roles,…
This includes, but not limited, to the psychiatrist, the therapist, and myself. It is important to involve the treatment team in order to facilitate the creation of the treatment plan. This will assure all parties agree to the diagnosis and all parties understand who will carry out each component of the intervention. The last individual I would involve in this intervention process, if needed, is Peter’s supervisor.…
First, team collaboration with other DBT therapists is an integral part of this model. This collaboration and support from other therapists not only allows for feedback and support, but it also provides a way for therapists to avoid burnout. Another great strength of DBT is the stages of therapy within individual therapy. These stages provide a structure for both the client and the therapist to address major concerns and progress through the DBT process. These stages help to orient the client to the process.…
Crisis intervention by all accounts is a very short, limited time interaction between the counselor and the client. The counselor must identify the problem that has the client in crisis at the present time and keep both themselves and the client focusing on the problem causing the crisis. Distracting issues will come up during the discussion, clouding the issue that needs to be dealt with to get the client out of crisis. The counselor needs to identify the problem that needs to be dealt with, how if any it has been dealt with before, and the client’s ability to function both in the past and at this point. The counselor must then use methods from Step A to gather all this information and come up with new ways that the client is capable of using to deal with the situation that has put them in…

PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND FOUNDATIONS OF PRACTICE OCT4006-D For this reflection, I have chosen to use the Kolb’s cycle (1984) to determine how human factors can affect interpersonal teamwork in a multi-disciplinary team (MDT). The Kolb’s cycle (1984) enables me to critically analyse the MDT and reflect upon the role of the Occupational Therapist (OT). In this reflection, I will be discussing: the role of the OT, the key service delivery role of the MDT, the methods of communication used by the MDT and how the communication was used to enhance and inhibit team working.…

This correlates with the stage that the counselor should make sure progression is being done by their client. This builds upon the self-esteem factor that has occurred within the therauptic session. Progression shows how the information from the counselor was obtained by the client. A description of clinical coaching is relational to multiple ways in the health field.…
How do we get from point A to point B? These are all questions that may be asked during this time. Step one in the mindfulness consulting process is to “identify the problem and the consultant” (Marques, Biberman & Dhiman, 2010, p. 25). Once we have identified a few problems that are holding the client back from their end goal, we ask that the client to then identify one of these problems that they are currently facing. Once this problem has been identified, the clients are then asked to mentally identify a consultant.…
This time gave me an opportunity to undertake reflective listening through active listening which according to Rogers (1975) in his “client-centered” therapy argues that it encourages the client to share the information in more depth than if I was only asking directive questions. This enabled me to gain information when the client brought out the underlying issues including those that I had not thought about. The active listening also improved my relationship with the client since I was able to express acceptance by avoiding any expression of disagreement or judgement thus making him open up and also trust me as his couselor. This method also left me with enough time to explore and diagnose the issue thus noting the new ways of approach to the…
