My work has shown me that what is most important in therapy is the relationship between an individual and therapist. The trust developed in that relationship allows the person who is struggling to experience himself or herself in a different way, and one that can encourage healing and growth. It's why finding the right therapist for you is a good place to start. I have always felt honored to be allowed into the lives of the people with whom I work. Whether the issue is a here-and-now relationship problem or an effort to overcome childhood trauma, the connection with your therapist will help you find what helps.
