It helps people understand why they repeat certain relationship habits and opens paths to more secure ways of relating.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's own experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients find their own solutions, which can be useful for building self-esteem and making decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kimberly will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life situation. That decision is made together and can change as needs evolve.
