Counseling Is, for Me, Helping People Find the Way to Their Own Truth
|
As social worker and counselor, my way of viewing "therapy" is often quite different than the usual interpretation of what therapy is and how it should unfold. Trained as a systems thinker, I do not believe in individual pathology. Instead, I help people see the interconnecting circumstances that are contributing to the issues that they seek to resolve. I encourage them to find their own truth without placing value biases and/or "therapeutic" labels on situations. I believe that every individual holds the wisdom and the keys to unlocking the answers to every challenge they encounter in this life. I also believe that in order to access that wisdom and find those keys, we sometimes need help. That help should be like the cleanest of mirrors, provided by a professional who is well trained and who can provide a judgment-free environment. |
