Personal approach
I'm attuned to the pluralistic framework. This means I understand that different people will benefit from different therapeutic understanding and methods at different points in time. To increase the chances of compatibility, before any treatment plan is designed, I can send you a form where you can indicate the type of therapy you think you would find the most beneficial.
