Message to clients

What is therapy? To paraphrase philosopher-psychologist Richard Gipps, therapy is a relationship that strives for truthfulness, accountability, assertiveness, vulnerability, care-taking, courage, and forgiveness. We humans are social animals. We are conceived interpersonally, shaped interpersonally, wounded interpersonally, and healed interpersonally. Therapy is a relationship through which we change and grow.
