Summary of strengths:

I understand my responsibilities and know how to set attainable goals for myself. I have a propensity of being goal oriented in my everyday life, and thus it is not difficult to use this practice professionally. I identify my areas of weakness strengths and work toward an applicable balance. I am committed to treating psychiatric disorders in individuals and groups through psychotherapy and medication.

Patient assessment is vital in developing accurate diagnoses (Pelin & Ayise, 2019). During this quarter I will continue my focus on assessing children and adolescents.
