Heather's Philosophy of Care
I believe in:
harnessing your natural power and resiliency.
the power of mindfulness (or Spiritual connection with Higher Power).
the natural ability for people to be able to become the best version of themselves.
I believe that you:
deserve unconditional love.
can feel pain without suffering,
know the direction you want to take your life, just need some guidance to change tracks.
I believe that therapy works best when:
both you and your therapist are invested in your healing.
you and your therapist meet consistently.
you are able to take charge of the path you want to take.
I believe that change is possible when
with consistent and persistent action one moves forward.
when you allow yourself to ask for help and take action.
when you take the steps to accept the help offered.
