Psychotherapy


Biopsychosocial Assessment Identification: At the time of this intake, client is a 22 year old, African-American bi-sexual female. History of Present Problem: During that time, I had a lot of death in the family and trauma I experienced. Greatgrandfather and two aunts passed away during her teen years. Two years ago her friend was murdered in front of her. He was her marijuana dealer. I went back to the home to buy more and I told him I was there, he didn’t come out and I heard gun shots.
