In this practice we only accept clients who we believe have the capacity to resolve their own problems with our assistance. We believe that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives. However, self-awareness and self-acceptance are goals that sometimes take a long time to achieve. Some clients need only a few counseling sessions to achieve these goals, while others may require months or even years of counseling. As a client, you are in complete control and may end our counseling relationship at any point. I will be supportive of that decision. If counseling is successful, you should feel that you are able to face life’s challenges without our continuing support or intervention.
We assure you that our services will be rendered in a professional manner consistent with accepted ethical standards. Sessions are fifty minutes in duration. Please note that it is impossible to guarantee any specific results regarding your counseling goals. Together, we will work to achieve the best possible results for you. Other options for counseling include talking with other professionals, your clergy person, or choosing to let the situation remain the same.
