The Promise Miami Therapist Whitney Goodman, LMFT Makes To All Of Her Clients

A promise I make to all my clients:

I promise to try my best to sit with you in distress. I won’t tell you to stop crying or try to fix it right away. I promise to let you feel whatever you’re feeling and validate that experience the best I can.

I promise to listen to you and check in frequently to make sure I’m getting it right. I will always strive to let you take the lead. You are the expert on your life.

I will try my hardest to admit when I’m wrong and to be flexible. I will be willing to listen to your complaints, feedback, and concerns. I will seek understanding.

I promise to be open and to learn from you. I will allow myself to be changed by the time we spend together. I will continue seeking out training, resources, and experiences that will help us both.

I promise to always be human. I’ll share how I’m feeling with you and strive for compassionate honesty. I’ll set healthy boundaries and model humanness in and outside of our sessions. I’ll mess up and I’ll get it right. But I’ll always be dedicated to providing you with a relationship that feels human, equal, and safe.

I promise to provide a space that you know you can always return to when you need or want.

Whitney
