Am I The Right Therapist For You?
There is a great deal of research on the effectiveness of psychotherapy, which points to a multitude of factors contributing to positive outcomes. However, one finding that continually emerges is that a strong working relationship between client and therapist is one of the most reliable predictors of a successful treatment. The practice of therapy is expanding, and new treatments and approaches are developing on what seems like a daily basis. Still, the simple fact remains that what matters most is that you feel a genuine human connection to your therapist, a sense that they understand you and your concerns. I put our relationship at the forefront of your treatment, and I tend to it throughout. My goal is to create an environment that is warm and welcoming and ultimately safe enough to be challenging at times. I also recognize that I will not be the perfect therapist for everyone who walks through my door. For that reason, should we decide, after a period of initial evaluation, that we are not a good fit, I will offer you referrals to alternative practitioners who may be a better match.
