All therapists are the same, right?
Many people have found that counseling does not yield the results they desire. They often come to us after seeing other counselors complaining that all the other therapist did was listen and nod. “You actually tell me what I can do” is a phrase we hear often. Many clients want more direction than some counselors are comfortable giving.
Family Integration Counseling approach counseling with the awareness that you are ultimately responsible for the changes you will make during therapy. We recognize you are an individual but also live in the ecosystem of your family and community which helps you define yourself in this world. This focus guides the therapy process from goal setting to completion of therapy. Changes are cooperated upon according to your desires, values and abilities.
