Therapy sessions are guided by a strengths-based, supportive approach that helps clients recognize what is already working for them and building from there. Clients are seen as the experts in their own lives, with therapy focusing on working together to understand patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and creating positive, lasting change.
