Every individual is their own expert and knows what their lens of life is (personally, professionally, and spiritually). In turn, therapy is a collaboration between the clinician, client(s), and other community resources. The client becomes empowered by having obtained through the therapeutic process the necessary information, tools, and skills needed for their self-discovery.
