I believe that therapy should last as short as possible. It is my goal to get people better as quickly as possible. I believe it is inappropriate to keep people in counseling for years as that runs into the danger of developing an addiction to the therapeutic process. I am here to train people to live effectively. To live responsibly. To live courageously, not to be dependent on me. I do take as much time as is needed and sometimes the duration is hard to determine. Generally, we know when we reach the goal and at that time, termination from the counseling process is appropriate.
