“Assisting individuals in understanding the origin and evolution of their problems often helps them to break through their confusion, fear and shame regarding their symptoms and reach a new prospective of how they arrived where they are presently and how they can grow beyond this point. Watching individuals begin to have hope for a better life and then embark upon obtaining that life is the most satisfying part of my profession.”
