The Counseling Relationship and the Nature of Therapy:
Each person, couple, or family who seeks counseling comes with unique experiences and concerns. The relationship of the counselor to the client(s) will be characterized by professional dignity, expertise, warmth, and acceptance. Therapy is a learning process that strives for insight and growth, allowing the persons involved to better understand themselves and others. Client autonomy is highly valued. A collaborative therapeutic rapport/relationship is also highly valued.
It is impossible to guarantee specific results regarding therapy. However, you and I work together to achieve the best possible results for you. It is essential that you are actively involved in setting your goals.
