my guiding principles
GROWTH
Focusing on personal growth and development is often a powerful motivator for positive change and self-improvement. It reflects a commitment to self-awareness, learning, and becoming the best version of oneself. It's a principle that can lead to transformative and fulfilling outcomes in the therapeutic process.
COMPASSION
Having compassion as your guiding principle in therapy is both commendable and deeply meaningful. It emphasizes empathy, understanding, and kindness, both toward yourself and in your interactions with others. Compassion can be a powerful force for healing, self-acceptance, and positive change in therapy. It encourages a non-judgmental and supportive environment that fosters personal growth and emotional well-being.
SAFETY
Prioritizing safety as your guiding principle in therapy is essential and reflects a commitment to creating a secure and nurturing environment for therapeutic work. Safety in therapy encompasses physical and emotional safety, confidentiality, and a space where you can express your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. It's a foundation upon which trust and meaningful therapeutic progress can be built.
RESPECT
A respectful therapeutic environment empowers clients to be active participants in their healing and personal growth while feeling honored and heard. This principle aligns with the core values of ethical and effective therapy.
