Don’t give up,
it’s the last key you try
that usually opens the door.
It is my experience that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach for individuals suffering from mental health or substance abuse. Every person is facing their own challenges, and therefore will respond differently to techniques and skills presented. It is for this reason that I use an eclectic approach that includes therapeutic counseling and support, solution-focused and reality-based therapy, and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT).
