My Personal Beliefs and Interests
In addition to being a follower of Jesus Christ and His teachings, my approach to Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy and peer support centers around the values and principles of peer support: Peer support professionals exercise compassion and caring in peer support relationships. Peer supporters strive to build peer relationships based on integrity, honesty, respect, and trust. Peers are all experts in their right and deserve to be heard and validated. Word and deed go together and word that isn't back up by action isn't a good word.
