Why values are important
Before you begin any therapeutic relationship, it’s important to be aware of your therapist’s professional values and orientation. Our values serve as the core concepts that guide our co-created journey to fulfilling your potential and achieving your therapeutic goals.
ACHIEVEMENT
Therapy with the goal of not needing more therapy.
Being dependent on your therapist for the rest of your life is not our definition of flourishing. The therapeutic process is co-created with you in order to build the autonomy and resilience needed to overcome obstacles without the need for long-term therapy.
SHELTER
A place to feel secure, where trust is nurtured.
You can attend each sessions feeling relaxed and calm knowing that safety, security, and privacy are at the core of our operations. You can be fully comfortable being yourself, which is one of the first steps in allowing you the overcome and thrive.
STRENGTHS
Everyone HAS WHAT THEY NEED TO DEVELOP THEIR POTENTIAL .
Yes, we're talking to you! In times of distress it's easy to lose sight of the things that we have going for us and focus only on the bad. Together we co-discover this your potential in order to strengthen your confidence in building the life you want.
POSITIVITY
FOCUS ON what’s right with YOU, NOT what’s wrong.
"Positive Psychology" is the scientific study of human flourishing. The field is founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play. We help you focus on what is “going right” while minimizing focus on what is “going wrong”.
CONTEXT
Understanding how your relationships transform you.
The systems we live in are created by our relationships. Since no person is an island, we engage therapy with all these "systems" in mind.
Let's move past the problem and toward the solution
My Focus For You
Solutions from your strengths
Many spend a lot of energy focusing on the "dots" on the page of their life. Rarely do we take the time to imagine the white-space, all the things we are good at and then build a vision for our potential from this.
That's where we start.
Being able to quickly identify barriers and blocks allows you to move on to your strengths. From here, you will practice and build upon what's already there, emphasizing it in the context of your relationships.
Counseling can be a problem-centric process. It's easy to focus on the same set of issues over and over again. This is a great way to stay in therapy all your life -which is not our goal for you.
If you're ready to face your problems and jump into a flourishing life in the white-space, we're ready to help.
