What is therapy with you like?
We make it clear to our clients know that we care about what they care about by revisiting their goals and our relationship throughout therapy. We also use our own feelings, story, self and experience of our clients as a regular intervention for challenging them and giving hope.
What do you value about being a therapist?
It is a privilege to have people share with us their vulnerable stories of pain and longing. We are humbled and often challenged by our client’s courage in the midst of deep struggle.
What do you think is important for a client to look for in a therapist?
We think the most significant therapeutic factor for change for clients is the client-therapist relationship. Since it is in relationships that we are most wounded, it is also in relationships that we find the most healing. Also, working with a therapist that is committed to their own personal growth. We can’t take anyone anywhere we haven’t gone ourselves.
How does your faith play itself out in your work as a therapist?
Our faith in the God who has revealed himself in His creation and His Word is vital for how we practice therapy. It provides for us the lens in which we understand who we were made to be as humans. It informs the way we understand our client’s stories, feelings, needs, longings and desires. Our desire is to keep one ear to the one who is in front of us and the other ear to the One who is above us.
