General Information For New Clients

• Counseling is confidential (exceptions: expressed threat to harm self or others; neglect or abuse of minors, the disabled, or the elderly)

• Counseling is a shared experience between Client and Therapist

• My practice operates from the humanistic perspective which looks at the person and his or her experiences holistically.

• I encourage you to call and spend 5 to 10 minutes to determine the potential appropriateness of the client-therapist working relationship.

• Therapy is meant to assist clients with specific issues and personal growth; sometimes, it is uncomfortable.

• Working through the discomfort and remaining honest with oneself makes room for positive growth.
