1. Therapy provides the time and environment in which you can safely and securely discuss, discover, and evaluate what you want or need to change in your situation.

2. We tend to be active, empathic listeners, focusing our attention on what you say. We do not judge. We ask questions to clarify our understanding.

3. We offer homework assignments to emphasize what we discuss during the appointments and to facilitate your change process.

4. The real work of therapy occurs between appointments, as you work through your reactions to what was discussed and as you begin to create the changes that you desire.

5. We strive to help you implement the changes you desire in the most efficient and effective way. We do not try to drag out treatment beyond the time you need to ensure that the changes you desire are firmly rooted.

6. You have the right to terminate treatment at any time.

7. If we agree to utilize hypnosis or guided imagery, we prefer to provide non-directive techniques. We believe this approach provides the best opportunity for your unconscious mind to complete its healing work.
