Therapy is an investment in your well-being and personal growth. First, the problems or challenges you’re facing will be identified. Then, we’ll define your vision of what a healthier, more fulfilling life looks like.
Both individual goals and collaborative goals if applicable will be discussed and clarified. Each week, practical steps will be outlined to ensure focus and intentional effort. Progress requires active participation. We’ll work on helping you stay accountable for your actions, thoughts, and choices, and when relevant address how others’ behaviors may impact your journey.
We’ll explore what motivates you to move forward, and also talk about obstacles that you feel might hold you back. Communication, trust, perspective-taking, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and values are all part of the process. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but when consistent time and effort are put in, and there is a sincere commitment to creating a more positive path, meaningful transformation becomes possible. This process is personalized. Your unique experiences, values, and personality will shape the direction and depth of the work we do together.
