Understanding
Parent-Centered Therapy
Think of Person-Centered Therapy as having a supportive passenger in the car while you drive. In many types of therapy, the counselor acts like an expert instructor telling you where to turn. Here, you choose the destination.
​
Your therapist’s job is to listen deeply, understand your world from your point of view, and offer complete acceptance—no matter what you are feeling. By giving you a safe, judgment-free space to talk things through out loud, this approach helps you quiet your inner critic, gain clarity, and figure out the steps you want to take next.
