Transformational Therapy

We focus and reflect on transformation in order to accelerate change.

A transformational approach in therapy is one that privileges strength and the capacity for survival and healing over pathology (disease). We need to notice and focus on this drive for healing because it is an important part of who we are and how we’ve adapted. Therapy is a great place to learn about this transformational drive because it is often what causes us to make the call, send the email, or step through the door for help.  It is important to realize that despite the chaos, problems, pain, and suffering, there also exists a strong transformational force that wants to bring us healing and growth. This is a powerful and important force to pay attention to.
