Rory’s Approach to Therapy
Rory is a staunch believer of therapy as a collaborative effort between the clients and the therapist to clarify problems and find solutions rooted in the clients’ past and present experiences, as well as their relationships. Rory assists her clients to recapture the sense of meaning, possibility and hope they have lost as a result of their pain. Rory also helps her clients rediscover their strengths and mobilize their resources, thus, empowering them to become more active change agents in their quest for overall wellness.
Rory utilizes an eclectic array of therapeutic strategies including supportive, client-centered, solution and goal focused, cognitive/behavioral, and existential, while continually mindful of treating her clients with dignity and respecting their worldview.
