Dialogic practice aims to listen carefully, accepting and exploring differences, so people with alternate views are truly heard and taken seriously. We don’t view negative feelings as a disorder, but as essential guideposts to greater understanding. I agree with Dan Fisher, MD, PhD, a psychiatrist recovered from ‘schizophrenia’, who says medications alone may buy you time, but they rarely solve your problems - you do.

Hello! I wanted to use this space to share a little about my approach to therapy to see if we'd be a good fit for each other. My approach revolves around you, the client.
