Our Approach

What we believe in and how we do what we do.

Person Centered

We believe that every person is the expert of their own experience. You know what has worked for you and what has not, and with the right support you can know what will work for you in the future. Instead of telling you what you should or should not do, we focus on exploring all the options available to you and empowering you to chose the one that will serve you the best.

Narrative Driven

We believe that the stories we tell have power. The way we talk about our experiences shapes our internal dialogue and has a large influence on the way we see the world. Looking at your story, we search for themes and patterns and assess the way that the past may be influencing the present. We then use these themes to assess your current situation and figure out how to move forward.

Strengths Based

With our strengths based approach, we focus on the skills and resources you already have at your disposal instead of looking only on the problem. We take a holistic approach and consider all the angles and possibilities available to you based on where you are starting from. We then seek to add solutions to your tool box so that you can feel confident facing experiences moving forward.

Identity Focused

We believe that you are much more than your current situation or experience. Instead of focusing on behavior or finding the “right” decision, we look at who you are as a person and how your unique approach to life can be used for your benefit. Once we identify your strengths and weaknesses, we create an approach that is tailored to you as an individual and empowers you to succeed.
