Do You Know?


Therapy is Not Something 'Done to You'

Therapy is never about being 'done to' you, but about you and your therapist working together in open dialogues.


Transformative Therapy is Non-Linear

Genuine and transformative therapy is often characterized as being deep, non-linear, spontaneous, authentic, and natural. 


Psychodynamic Therapy for Root Causes 

Psychodynamic psychotherapy notably delves deeply to confront the root causes of one's struggles. Analogously, a fever stemming from an internal organ injury cannot be genuinely "healed" with mere fever-reducing strategies. True healing in therapy requires addressing the core issue, allowing the internal wounds enough time to naturally heal.
