Person-centered Counseling for Adults

There is a wide range of clients I see for individual therapy. Some people come to therapy because they have work problems, family trouble, problems in relationships (of any kind) or difficulty being assertive. These are only some of the reasons. Ultimately, people seek therapy because they are hurt and need someone to hear and understand them because the source of pain can seem endless.
When I listen to my clients, I listen to every part of them because every part of them is saying something. Stated another way, I listen for what is said and what isn’t said. My professional goal is to connect with people and give them a safe space where they can speak their mind, and to counsel my clients with empathy and without judgment.
This is a foundation and framework; however, it isn’t everything that is needed in effective therapy. I want my clients to understand that counseling is a commitment and a collaborative effort. It is truly effective when clients are ready for the inward, reflective journey.
