Sarah St. Germain, Ph.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Philosophy
I view therapy as an important partnership between the psychologist and the client. Because you will be exerting a considerable amount of your time, energy, and money in this process, I believe it is *crucial* that you are comfortable with the therapist that you choose. Therapy can be hard work, and it is important that the personalities of both yourself and the therapist "mesh well".
I also view psychotherapy as a collaborative process. If we work together, we will look at the obstacles that are getting in the way of living the life that you want. We will have open discussions about your goals/expectations of treatment, what to focus on in treatment, the frequency of sessions, and how to measure change. In this way we will plan our work together.
