We see therapy as an engaged process between two or more persons with the goal of reducing psychological suffering and increasing inner and interpersonal states of peace. We believe a relationship between patient and clinician founded on trust, acceptance, and compassion is a requisite for attaining this goal. Additionally, we view this relationship as collaborative, wherein a patient and clinician will explore, question, challenge, and discover. We believe that the path to peace is through process and know from experience that this path requires hard work.
