According to the majority of studies regarding the success of therapy, the number one factor is the therapeutic relationship that is built between the therapist and client.

It is important to the counselors at Transitions Counseling to create an individualized treatment plan that fits the needs of each client that we work with.

You, as the client, will find our counseling style to be proactive; we often ask clarifying questions, connect re-occurring themes and discuss suggestions to promote positive change. It is important for us as the counselors to get to know you as the client and build a trusting, comfortable working relationship and get the most out of the time we spend together.
