Personal Statement
I have a unique, eclectic, approach to therapy. Because everyone has different goals, needs and expectations I like to meet with my clients and tailor their treatment and goals to them. I like to use a client-centered approach which uses a non-authoritative approach that allows clients to take more of a lead in discussions so that, in the process, they will discover their own solutions. The therapist acts as a compassionate facilitator, listening without judgment and acknowledging the clients experience without moving the conversation in another direction.
The therapist is there to encourage and support the client and to guide the therapeutic process without interrupting or interfering with the clients process of self-discovery.?
I also utilize humanistic therapy which is a positive approach to psychotherapy that focuses on a persons individual nature rather than categorizing groups of people with similar characteristics as having the same problems. Humanistic therapy looks at the whole person, not only from the therapists view but from the viewpoint of individuals observing their own behavior. The
