Therapy is a collaborative process that always respects the needs, working pace, and goals of each person. Wisdom that emerges within ourselves, valuable feedback from an outside perspective, and the relational experience of therapy lead us to discover new ways of seeing ourselves and our world. This new experience can bring the change we desire.
