Lauralee Fuhrmann
The approach is client-centered and strengths-based. It can be difficult to open up and talk about life stressors to a stranger. Sometimes, we can feel unheard or alone, or just need someone who can be a helpful, compassionate, and nonjudgmental ear. In therapy, we can mend fractured and fragmented pieces of ourselves that have been damaged by past relationships and trauma. Together, we can bring out positive change in our lives; we can challenge negative cognitions and dissonance. Together, we can begin the path of healing.
