Philosophy of Psychotherapy:
"Psychotherapy helps patients achieve goals of symptom relief
and satisfaction in life. By solving problems and healing painful
relationships, psychotherapy expands choices and enables change.
A positive doctor patient relationship best predicts successful
outcome, as does matching the type of psychotherapy with the patient's
problems and strengths."
