PROCESS

The answer to every individual's life questions and dilemmas lie within the person. The goal of therapy, therefore, is to educate, support and guide the client to attain and preserve emotional clarity as well as a healthy sense of relational well-being.

Following a brief introductory exchange, the first session usually entails discussing general information about the client's history: physical and emotional symptoms, lifestyle and past experiences with the presenting problem. Based on the information that is given throughout ongoing therapy sessions, the client's treatment will include a variety of therapeutic methods such as completing assessments for family-of-origin issues and/or trauma issues, bibliotherapy (reading assigned books and articles), cognitive-behavior techniques, art therapy, journaling, etc.
