34 | Ideal client referrals | I mostly work with young adult women around issues of anxiety depression. My ideal client is just trying to find what makes me her happy. She's a woman who wants to live a peaceful and loving life with people that she truly connects with. She enjoys simplicity. She's vulnerable but strong enough to fight. She's just looking for joy. My ideal teen client is constantly pushing boundaries in and out of school. She or he doesn't know who they are quite yet and they are constantly taking risks to figure it out. Their parents "don't know what to do with them" but all parties involved are willing to try to figure it out. They're complex, brave and tender. They long to fit in, take risks and enjoy the process of learning from their mistakes. They aren't afraid to do the hard things and aren't too tough to cry it out. | |||
