HEALING PHILOSOPHY
Therapy
is essentially a collaborative relationship designed exclusively to meet
the needs of the client. In this regard, therapy is a fiduciary
relationship in which the therapist uses his or her knowledge and skill
to act in the best interest of the client.
Dramatic improvement occurs after discovering previously unrecognized
individual capabilities and situational options.
