We believe the problems for which clients seek help have solutions. The therapist builds on the strengths of the individual or family in developing better ways of coping and in finding alternatives for dealing with problems. All matters - with the exception of threat of harm, suicide or child abuse - are kept in the strictest confidence.

• Individual Therapy - People seek out individual therapy for such reasons as anxiety, job stress or depression.
