● Description of work provided and philosophy of working with this population:
My commitment to my clients, as a psychotherapist, is to listen with respectful focus to their concerns and to provide reflection, interpretation and pathways for change to support them in meeting their treatment goals. I have found that being an active listener as well as an active communicator is a powerful combination for offering this support. Currently Compass Point is seeing all clients through telehealth, online, or over the telephone.
