Alayla Sierra Bond

I want to show clients how to become self sufficient to obtain knowledge, attitudes and skills through counseling them on their mental health issues so that they can have access to resources to make adequate decisions about how to live healthier lifestyles. I want to teach them to know the limitations about consequences and my goal is to make them more aware, knowledgeable and skilled in resources to help them meet their other daily needs. Once clients can fulfill their daily needs, they can more effectively build competencies necessary to become successful and productive people. I want to show clients how to resolve conflicts between parent/ child, family matters and develop individual coping methods and skills by learning conflict resolution, meditation and relaxation techniques. Learn how to block self defeating thoughts and take the emotion out of communication so that they can clearly be understood and practice active listening. I hope to apply my own skills, knowledge and experience to help others advance as others have helped me. I’m grateful to have gained support, resources, and strength to achieve my goals through strong family values, work ethic, and a strong sense of self. I have experience being a ward of the state, living on public assistance, unemployment and health scares
