Guiding Philosophy
Our philosophy is that the client is the expert of their own life. As such, we believe in bringing collaborative/person-centered approaches to building valuable and meaningful therapeutic relationships with all of our clientele. Furthermore, at Perceptions Mental Health, the understanding is that life can be extremely challenging and present with difficult situations for all. As a result, individuals may lose sight of the options available to them for improving their lives. Afterall, navigating life can be tough; change is constant, and we can become “stuck” from time to time dealing with the emotional impacts of mental health issues that may have skewed our perceptions about self, others, and/or the world. However, at Perceptions Mental Health, there is always room for exploration, hope, healing, and freedom.
