Our Philosophy

Sometimes life is hard. Occasionally, everyone could benefit from some help with coping. Most individuals and families are doing the best they can, given their current circumstances and level of personal and interpersonal skills. many are just “Stuck,” using coping methods and solutions learned at some time in the past, but no longer adequate to the situation at hand. We believe that most people, with the assistance of a nonjudgmental, skilled, respectful therapist, can discover solutions to many of their problems and formulate more fulfilling ways of living their lives. We do not pretend to be experts on anyone’s life; our clients are the authority on their lives. We believe in respectfully working together with clients to find solutions, in collaborating with them, in building upon their strengths and competencies, and not in telling people what to do or “giving the the answers.”
