Treatment Theory My treatment philosophy is captured by the creed of my Alma Mater, Hendrix College: 'Unto the whole person.' In an effort to achieve this goal of holistic health, I use an eclectic style of counseling and I collaborate extensively with other health care providers. I also draw from the deep wells of expressive arts, prayer, and meditation as compliments to psychotherapy. My style can also be described as East-West, as I am trained in both the traditional paradigms of Western psychology as well as in the contemplative practices of Eastern philosophy. Counseling Style My ongoing study of current psychological research and ancient wisdom from the world's religions is interdisciplinary, embracing a culturally-sensitive approach to the helping profession. This background along with my love of art and music informs my counseling technique. The foundation of an effective, satisfying counseling experience is a balanced working relationship between counselor and client. This is achieved through skillful communication, empathy, and respect. My services begin with a dialogue, a detailed interview which helps me to understand where my clients are coming from and what they hope to gain. From there, my client and I work together to develop an individualized treatment plan, complete with a discussion about the benefits and limitations of therapy, all available treatment options, and the expected length of treatment. Personal Statement It is my intention to help others through empowerment. With compassion, courage, and creativity, we can improve our community and be of service to the world at large.
