Principles of Therapy: Connection, Collaboration, and Balance

To ensure success during therapy for depression and anxiety or any other mental health challenge, the three key elements are teamwork, trust, and flexibility. I approach therapy guided by three principles, i.e. connection, collaboration, and balance.

Here’s why I find these values pivotal:

 
 

CONNECTION

Building a strong therapist-client bond is the foundation of therapy. According to research, the relationship between a therapist and a client is vital for successful treatment. Our free initial consultation explores whether we’re a right fit. We understand that this is your journey and acknowledge the importance of feeling supported and comfortable every step of the way.

COLLABORATION

Therapy is a partnership, much like a seesaw. I may take on more of the work in the beginning. As we progress, you’ll feel more confident and take on more of the work. I’ll be there to cheer you on at every milestone. We’ll work together to develop a plan that meets your needs and goals.

BALANCE

Every client I meet has a unique story, which is why finding balance in therapy is vital. I strive to create a treatment plan that reflects your needs and circumstances. We’ll identify your needs and goals by pinpointing your priorities and values and aligning the approach accordingly.

A personalized, balanced therapy for depression, trauma, anxiety, and other mental health challenges is a core value of Serenity Space Therapy.
We’ll restore your sense of control and help you accomplish your goals through purposeful actions.
