We work with children, adolescents and adults. We aim to provide, but also go well beyond diagnosis, discussion, empathy and encouragement.
With children, we are privileged to work together gaining the insight needed to inform pragmatic coping mechanisms and tangible, skill-acquisition based treatment.
Our focus is primarily on enhancing self efficacy, not merely self esteem. Self efficacy is one's ability to work toward, follow-through, produce and maintain a desired and intended result. Self efficacy is not only the feeling or belief, but the fact based knowledge and trust of one’s own ability. It is, therefore, not subjective. It is not vulnerable, as is self esteem, to rise or fall solely according to one’s mood.
Furthermore, Self-efficacy, unlike self esteem, is not vulnerable to the manipulation of others. It is the permanent, indelible foundation upon which self esteem is built.
