We begin support, fostering the wisdom of our clients, couples and their families with the Intake session. In this session, we gather all past and present information on areas of strengths and challenges so we can build a treatment plan in collaboration with our clients to work on identified goals.
Treatment begins with the emphasis and focus on building rapport to facilitate treatment. There are several stages of therapy where the focus on healing unresolved issues includes being with the client in an authentic, non-judgmental, compassionate, empathetic manner with curiosity.
We can all benefit from quiet reminders every now and then. We all need to find a sense of connection with others and develop environments where we feel validated. Part of therapy is learning strategies and skills to understand intergenerational patterns of relating to others that may have resulted in ways of coping that no longer meet our needs.
