About Therapy
I believe that we all were born with everything we need to heal and grow
spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically. There are times in a person's
life when he/she experiences stress, depression, lack of motivation, or
confusion. In my own life I have experienced multiple losses that left
me devastated, discouraged about my future, and feeling stuck. I found
the psychotherapy process to be extremely helpful in the process of healing
and even more so, empowered me to reach into my own resources of self
healing and personal growth.
The process of healing can be painful and difficult at times. It takes serious commitment and courage.
Psychotherapy is a healing process which involves a relationship between the client and therapist. Together the client and therapist create a safe place for change and growth. Trust, respect, confidentiality, and honesty are the basis of building an environment that provides the possibility for change and healing to take place.
There are many excellent and experienced professional therapists. Because the nature of psychotherapy relies on the relationship between the client and therapist, it is important that the client and therapist are a good fit for each other. An initial consultation provides you with an opportunity to experience the process of psychotherapy as well as the match between yourself and the therapist. Sometimes it takes more than one session to determine if you have a good match.
