English

I believe people can be responsible for their own actions and change their lives to become healthier, happier people. I also believe 'the problem is not the problem' (quote from Colin Ross) -- it is merely a symptom for what lies at the root of the real problem. That is where the real work is done. I believe in maximizing your therapy dollar by sometimes assigning 'homework' items and helping apply what is gleaned from the therapy process out into the real world.
