“I believe there are several important factors that impact therapy. Among the most important factors in successful therapy is a strong therapeutic relationship. This relationship is built on genuine regard for the unique situation of each individual. Mutual respect and trust are also vital in an effective therapeutic partnership. When therapy works, it is because clients expect that it can help and they are motivated to do the work to reach their goal. Working toward personal goals can be exhilarating and freeing, but the process is also sometimes difficult and painful. I think of the therapeutic process in the same way I would consider training for a marathon. It can feel daunting and difficult, but it can also be exhilarating and satisfying. Of course, the ultimate goal is to cross the finish line (reaching your goal) in your unique way. I have the utmost respect for clients who do this work.”
