Therapy is first and foremost about you — and your hopes for change. It is our role to create a safe and productive context in which the changes you desire can occur.
The motivation to come to therapy is usually related to three areas of life: personal issues, relationship difficulties, and the life challenges and situations that we all face at times. Often, people face struggles in all three areas at the same time.
Is change possible?
Is it possible for me?
Can you help me?
It is typical for people to come to their first session feeling both fear and hope.
Therapy provides a safe place for you to feel whatever you are feeling and to explore your experience as deeply as you choose. It allows you to find out who you are and what you are capable of beyond the limitations you have experienced in the past.
Therapy creates change and human beings have an inordinate capacity to change in meaningful and lasting ways.
“
What I am looking for in working with people is not what is wrong, but what needs to change. Systems theory says that one small change in a behavior can affect an entire family system. I am looking for the smallest change that creates the most optimal outcome.
