patient-centered therapy

Patient-centered therapy is a counseling approach that emphasizes creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel understood and accepted. The therapist listens attentively, respects the individual's feelings and experiences, and encourages self-exploration. This approach focuses on empowering clients to find their own solutions and personal growth, rather than giving direct advice or instructions. By fostering trust and openness, patient-centered therapy helps individuals develop greater self-awareness and emotional resilience, making it effective for a wide range of mental health concerns and personal development goals.
