Individual Therapy (Person-Centered)

We create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors at your own pace.

Core Principles

1. Unconditional Positive Regard
   • Complete acceptance and support from the therapist.
   • Safety to explore difficult or painful thoughts.
2. Empathy
   • Active listening to deeply understand your perspective.
   • Reflection and paraphrasing to help clarify feelings.
3. Congruence (Genuineness)
   • Therapist is authentic and transparent, never distant or clinical.
   • Models honesty and invites you to be your real self.
