TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY:
I am highly committed to;
ADVOCACY:
My primary commitment is to my patient(s), whether an individual, family or group. I will promote, advocate for and strive to protect the health, safety and rights of my patient(s).
CARING:
Non-judgmental, genuineness of caring, is the essence of my practice, providing the foundation for a healing environment and healing interactions.
Caring in my professional practice means:
• maintaining belief or a sustaining faith in the patient’s capacity to get through events or transitions and face a future of fulfillment
• knowing each patient or striving to understand events as they have meaning in his/her life
• enabling or facilitating the passage of my patients through life transitions and unfamiliar events
• being with or being emotionally present with my patients
COMMITMENT:
Continuous improvement in care and service to my patients and families is achieved by applying critical thinking skills, my experience and expertise, and creativity. I maintain a belief vital to high quality patient care involves ongoing commitment to continuing education, supervision, research, and quality improvement processes.
CULTURAL DIVERSITY:
I maintain cultural awareness and recognition that a therapist-patient encounters including the interaction of three cultural systems: the culture of the therapist, the culture of the patient, and the culture of the setting. I have a spiritual focus that is inclusive of all practices.
ETHICS:
I am ethically bound and dedicated to upholding my patients' confidentiality, safety and privacy so that psychotherapy can be the most effective.
