| Message from Dr. Atwood |
"My style and beliefs are to create a safe
environment within which individuals, couples, and
families can explore their issues and challenges.
I do this using brief solution focused therapy
embedded in a narrative view. This means that I
assist people in seeing their lives in more healthy
ways as they overcome the challenges in their lives.
This occurs in an atmosphere of empowerment and
growth.
My preferred methods of doing therapy is to go on a
journey with my clients to learn about their
problematic "stuck points" and to assist them in
moving forward.
On this journey, empowerment and growth are two
key factors that we strive to achieve.
I have studied psychology, sex therapy, and
marriage and family therapy for many years,
collecting a Doctorate and 3 Masters Degrees along
the way. In addition, I did many years of post
graduate work.
My most substantive learning though comes from my
many years of working with clients."
