The Therapeutic Relationship
Individual Counseling is a powerful experience of self-discovery which can lead you to many of the answers to your problems and hang ups in life. The relationship between you and your therapist is unique and intimately personal. You are sharing and exploring tender parts of your inner world, and we create safety and trust together in this process.
