The client-centered practice has been the highlight of my professional career at the macro, mezzo, and micro levels.

While engaging some clients is difficult, because of my clinical knowledge and experience, clients will be able to identify their issues to be worked on and be assured that as long as they are ready to do the work, their treatment will be successful.
