Humanistic therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on encouraging a client’s self-awareness and mindfulness. Humanistic therapy is founded on the beliefs that people are inherently good and are more than the sum of their parts. Sessions generally have an optimistic tone and are non-judgmental. Humanistic therapists will urge clients to look inward and move towards personal growth and self-actualization.

Each of us wants to be approached with respect and positive regard. Acknowledging this allows us to connect with each other from a place of compassion and kindness. This fosters a nonjudgmental therapeutic environment that lets clients feel supported in sharing difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

All life is relationship. I've learned this fact in both my graduate psychotherapy training, and through spending time with indigenous cultures around the world. This means that each person requires their own unique therapy. I won’t try to slot you into a theory or category, or try and “fix” you. Instead, I work through building our relationship, and learning about who you really are.

We are all humans first. I believe we are also innately good, even when our actions, thoughts or other people would convince us otherwise. The tenants of a Humanistic approach include self-actualization, creativity, intrinsic nature, becoming, and meaning. Your experiences and interpretations of these experience are central to understanding your place in the world. From a humanistic lens, we can explore these experiences and discover your unique self.

I value the humanistic psychology approach because I believe it is essential to look at the individual as a whole and focus on self-efficacy and actualization. The problems people experience are a natural response to how difficult it is to live in our world and we can work together towards personal growth. Humanism encourages me to look for new ways to grow, connect, become healthier and happier.

I have been lucky to study under a number of professors who adhere to the humanistic approach. For me, this is rooted in the idea that humans are ultimately good, and constantly attempting to move toward self-actualization.

I've always believed in the power of seeing through your eyes or walking in your shoes. Together we look at you as a whole person, not just at problems or diagnoses. I believe that empathy and compassion, creating a therapy space and relationship that feels safe, reassuring, respectful and connected, can be very healing. I do believe that we're naturally inclined toward positive growth, but all too often have learned unhelpful routines that hold us back. We can learn more positive pathways.

Humanists are rooted in being compassionate, non-judgmental and unconditionally caring. They are rooted in being this way as people and especially so inside the sacred role of counselor/coach. Humanists can be seen as secular ministers. But unlike the shame that many find inside religion, Humanists stand for you trusting in yourself and your heart's highest calling for truth, love and freedom.

Humanistic therapy is based on Carl Rogers' theory of 'unconditional positive regard'. In other words, everyone is doing the best they can with what they have at the moment, and is accepted just as they are. Humanistic practitioners start from where the client is, and does not try to apply a 'one size fits all' approach, as each client will need a unique combination of approaches and techniques.
