My Therapeutic Philosophy
PILLARS
to build a successful life
PRINCIPLES
that facilitate growth
Absolutely central to my counseling philosophy is the belief that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is key to effective therapy. When a client feels that a counselor really, truly sees and understands them without judgment the potential for healing to take place is created in the client.
