My Approach to Helping

My therapeutic style is client-centered, grounded in wellness, not sickness, blending solution-focused, contemplative, body-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches. I believe that we all have the inherent wisdom to use our obstacles and losses to grow and heal. I am also a trained and certified mindfulness meditation instructor, and am EMDR Level I certified. See my blog at http:bethspatterson.wordpress.com for more information about me and my practice.
