…is an ongoing process of knowing yourself personally and professionally

Style & Personality
Effective therapy comes out of the relationship between knowing your self and clients learning about themselves in your presence. Having a strong sense of how you are in and out of the therapy room is at the core of your image.

Dress & Attire
Appearances do matter in our profession. Taking care of your self is detrimental to how clients view you and how much weight they will put on what you say and do in therapy with them.

Areas of Expertise
Specialization should be near and dear to you otherwise it will appear contrived. Even if you don’t tell your clients about your self, you KNOW your self so you may want to consider doing what you know.
