What is therapy and who is it for

What is Therapy?

Therapy is collaboration between a client and a counselor that involves client’s active engagement in the process and aims to facilitate their change and growth in personal, as well as relational aspect. Therapy is a rewarding process, however it can be challenging, as growth takes time and practice, and feels uncomfortable at times. I want you to know, I will be next to you to support you through your healing journey, help you to see the big picture, as well as identify ways to achieve your therapeutic goals. I bring genuine care and compassion to the counseling room and use my unique skills to facilitate your growth.

Who is Therapy For?
