Slide 1

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
Viktor Frankl

Slide 2

A person is a fluid process, not a fixed and static entity; a flowing river of change, not a block of solid material; a continually changing constellation of potentialities, not a fixed quantity of traits.

Counseling & Psychotherapy

LifePaths-Counseling & Psychotherapy Services offers counseling and psychotherapy services to teenagers, adults, couples and families.

Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy has its roots in attachment theory and the way I have been trained, seems to find its full potential within the Person Centered Approach. The leading pioneer is Dr. Sue Johnson, who continuous to research and evaluate the approach. Comparative studies have shown its effectiveness in a majority of cases.
