    It is my hope that this client-centered approach will help foster trust in our relationship. If the client is willing I would like for her to begin attending group meetings tomorrow. If she is not open to attending the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings the organization brings to the facility I will see if she is open to attending our in house group psychoeducational classes. These would enable her to learn about substance use, its consequences, symptoms of withdrawal, coping strategies and relapse prevention. My first impression about Martha is that she values her autonomy so in individual treatment, it will be important to work collaboratively with her.…
