A Bit About Therapy
Tiffany's approach to counseling and what to expect
In the person-centered approach to therapy, the focus is on creating a genuine and empathetic relationship between the therapist and the individual seeking help. Rooted in the philosophy of Carl Rogers, this approach places a strong emphasis on unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence. In the context of our therapeutic journey, I strive to embody these principles. I aim to understand your unique perspective without judgment, and my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you feel heard and accepted.
The person-centered approach recognizes that you are the expert of your own experience. Therefore, I see my role as a facilitator, helping you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a way that promotes self-discovery and personal growth. This collaborative process is tailored to your individual needs and preferences, ensuring that the therapeutic journey aligns with your values and goals.
Furthermore, I embrace a personalized approach to therapy, acknowledging that each person is unique. Your background, coping skills, support systems, and goals serve as crucial components in shaping our therapeutic work. By understanding these aspects of your life, I can better tailor interventions and strategies that resonate with your specific circumstances.
Therapy is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor, and I am committed to adapting my approach to meet your evolving needs. I value your active participation in the therapeutic process, and I encourage open communication about what is and isn't working for you. Your feedback guides our collaborative efforts, ensuring that the therapeutic relationship remains a dynamic and responsive space for your personal development.
As we embark on this journey together, I want you to feel empowered to explore, reflect, and challenge yourself within the safety of our therapeutic space. Growth often involves stepping outside of one's comfort zone, and I am here to support you as you navigate this process.
The work we do both within and outside of our sessions is a joint effort, with the ultimate aim of helping you achieve the positive changes and personal development you desire.
