Get to know Arthur

Why did you decide to become a counselor?

Since an early age, I have been passionate about interacting and helping others. This field gives me the chance to do that everyday, and to have the opportunity to learn about people's talents and strengths.


What types of clients do you work with best?

I feel my strength lies in working with young people, specifically children and adolescents. I also work best with those of any age who have experienced, whether that is the passing of a loved one or any other type of loss.


What type of clients are you most excited to work with?

Any client I come in interaction with excites me. However, I would say my passion lies with helping children and adolescents, especially adolescent males. I enjoy helping this population feel accepted to express their emotions. I also enjoy working with clients of all ages process experiences with life transitions and grief.


What's one thing you wish all clients knew?

I wish all humans, not just clients, would be able to naturally recognize their one talents and capabilities. When our self-esteem is low this can be difficult, but the guidance of a trusted individual like a counselor can help.

I hope to accomplish a basic comfort level for the client, as well as understanding of the goals to be addressed in future sessions.


What should clients know about you before scheduling a first counseling session?

Before entering a session, I hope clients know that I truly enjoy this work, and that I do my best to build connections.


What do you do for fun/on your time off?

Spending time outside, traveling, reading non-fiction, listening to music, and socializing with friends.


What's one thing about you that defines you (non-professional)?

I think I am someone who tries to see the good in people, which is something I try to do in all aspects of my life.
