Hello and welcome!
I’m Dr. Cale.
About my therapeutic style and approach.
You’ve probably realized by now that rarely is there a single solution to any issue. What’s more, something that may work well for one person does not guarantee that same success for someone else, simply because most obstacles look and feel different for each person. Unfortunately, many struggles are inevitable and unavoidable. And yet, one of our biggest assets is our own ability to choose how we respond in the face of pain, stress, and disappointment.
I don’t try to sugarcoat problems or push my own agenda regarding what’s “best” for you. You are always the expert in your own life. However, I’m also not the type of therapist who sits back and lets you keep spinning your wheels without any sign of progress or results. What I offer is a genuine and supportive working relationship through which you gain practical skills to find solutions and make changes in your life. I’ll help you slow down so that you gain a better understanding of your values, and recognize what’s getting in the way of you achieving your personal goals. We’ll think critically together, and challenge the negative thoughts, feelings, and experiences that have come to either define or limit the positive ways you see yourself and your relationships.
My aim is to be your advocate, as we explore your strengths, find solutions, and determine what a healthier and more abundant life means to you.
