How Do I Work With You?

I do things a little different here, so I would like to briefly comment on a few things.  Above all, I am dedicated to the achievement of your goals.  I strive to form a partnership with you to overcome life's challenges. 

Your perception of our partnership and views of your situation are of critical importance - change depends on your abilities and ideas more than anything else.  For these reasons, I like to check out how we are doing in counselling sessions from meeting to meeting, with two short forms.  Your feedback will tell me if we are on track, or need to change something so that you can get what you want out of our time together.

Beyond our discussions during the meetings, you may choose to be involved as much (or as little) as you desire.  These choices are your call, and are not requirements.  You know best what will work for you. 

You may:

1. Ask questions of me
2. Challenge me if you feel we are not on track with what you want.
3. Read what's written on your files and write your own notes for the file.
4. Become a resource for others struggling with similar concerns.

You are free to discuss any of this with me.
