I approach each client encounter as an opportunity to assist people in accessing their exsisting strengths and use these resources to bring about positive change. I believe that it is not so much the situations or experiences that impact a person but the meaning that individuals ascribe to an experience. In therapy, I will respectfully challenge some of those ascribed meanings and/or help the client to view experiences/situations in a different way. Once "old" meanings have been altered new possibilities for resolution and wellness are revealed. I find this approach to be very healing, restorative and empowering for clients and it is also a relatively quick way to positive alternatives and wellness! Why Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT)? LMFT’s are the only clinicians who are required to be trained and are qualified to work with couples and families, as well as with individuals (adult and child) and groups. No other license requires that clinicians be trained in this way. When struggling with family, life or relationship issues, LMFT’s are the best in the field. Since no other Mental Health License in Illinois requires such expertise, other licensed mental health professionals may or may not have it and without training in both working with individuals and working conjointly (families, couples), a clinician may fail to recognize when one modality or the other is most indicated. |
