My Treatment Philosophy

Transript

Hey, thanks for visiting my page. I'm going to keep this very short and brief regarding my philosophy. I'm not here to overwhelm you with complex technical jargon.

My general philosophy is that treatment can actually be engaging. You can improve yourself in a meaningful way. And at the same time, and this is the most crucial part, you don't need to change the kid. There are some behaviors that may be maladaptive, as all humans experience, and that's the part that can use a little work. But the core underlying philosophy is: do not change your true nature. That’s absolutely vital.

The other part is that I'm not here to tell the kid what to do. Because, let’s be honest, remember ourselves as teenagers—how well did it work out when adults told us what to do? I don’t think that worked too well.

The whole point is to be there as a supportive figure, using medical expertise to help the child get through this rather difficult world as intact as they can.
