Focus

You already know how to live your lives. In therapy, you learn how to make changes that will improve your lives and give you a sense of hope. The kinds of improvements you wish to make are up to you. Our job is to help you recognize the fears that get in your way. Accepting your fears, acknowledging them and identifying them is the first step. The second step is to figure out how to proceed differently, by changing your old patterns and establishing new ones. It sounds simple to say, but difficult to do. Our role is to start where you are and proceed accordingly.

The past provides history; the present is the context for change. Our focus is on the daily living situations which require time and energy, as well as personal commitment to resolve. When individual energy and mutual patterns of a relationship are "stuck", our focus is on practical and workable solutions, based on trust and respect.
