Rhondell McGuire

My practical view of counseling is as a journey of self-exploration by the client, meant to increase his/her level of self-understanding and self-awareness. As a counselor, I act as the guide or facilitator of this journey.

My brand of therapy is talk therapy, pure and simple; dialogue between two human beings. Therefore, the therapeutic process is relationship-centered rather than theory/technique-centered. I work very hard at cultivating and nurturing a strong, healthy, working relationship with my client.

I work diligently at making the client feel understood through active listening, reflection of feeling, and accurate empathic understanding. I strive to encourage and motivate the client to take action on the prevailing issues of mutual understanding.
