“I believe in the power of each
individual. It is not a therapist’s job to tell the individual
what to do; rather, to assist them in discovering his or her
own answers/needs and help them to find the appropriate ways to
achieve them. Each person has his own definition of success,
which a therapist should appreciate. I enjoy my profession and
do not consider what I do to be work or just a job. I believe
that even in today’s changing health care arena, one can give
caring, quality care.”
