About the approach
Psychotherapy in the person-centered tradition is not about fixing others but about being there with the other in an environment of trust, caring, profound respect, and empathy.
Rogers built his theory through experience and this is the way we try to guide you. Through your experiences, you will come to understand these concepts in your own unique way.
