After several years working at other Psychology Practices, our Director became passionate about making the ambience of therapy more comfortable for clients. She saw the need for a less clinical environment and more equality in the typical patient/expert dynamic. After-all, therapy is a collaborative process and the rapport you have with your Psychologist is the strongest predictor of treatment success.
