My Approach to Helping
Counseling includes your active involvement as well as efforts to change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It also includes changes in the interactions we have learned and adapted in our relationships with families and others. You will have to work both in and out of the counseling sessions. There are no instant, painless or passive cures, no "magic pills". There will be homework assignments, exercises, writing and journals, and perhaps other projects. You will have to work on relationships and make long-term efforts. Sometimes change will be easy and swift, but more often it will be slow and deliberate; effort may need to be repeated.
