What is Therapy and How Might it Help Me?

Psychotherapy is defined as an active collaboration between the therapist and client. Whether you are participating in couples, individuals or group therapy, you’ll have a completely confidential relationship with your therapist where you can reveal your feelings in a safe environment. Robert is one of only a few Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist EFT, in Washington, DC.

 

Although therapy can sometimes be a challenging process, the people who are committed to doing the hard work are able to face their emotional challenges and begin to make positive changes in their lives.

What should I expect from my therapist?

A therapist is a person who will support and listen to you and provide you with useful feedback and insight based on what you tell them. Wether you are seeking individual or couples counseling, you’ll be able to speak with them openly and honestly without any judgment or the fear of hurting someone’s feelings. The relationship with your therapist it strictly confidential and they follow ethical guidelines which define their profession. We have Certified Emotionally Focused Therapists for Couples.
