Therapy is something that we (Therapist and Client) create together.
I know that coming to therapy was a hard decision. I respect your bravery for trying it.
I know that you could have chosen lots of different providers. I am honored that you trust me.
I know that therapy is time consuming. I make my schedule available to you on line and will go out of my way to protect our time together.
I know that therapy is an investment for you. I will recommend things for you to work on outside of therapy to maximize your growth and shorten the duration you need therapy.
You have goals and values. I respect those and an thankful you feel comfortable enough to share them with me.
