Treatment Options

One of the unique aspects of Dallas Whole Life Counseling is its strong emphasis on individually customized therapy treatment, which may or may not include medication management. Rather than simply treating clients "by rote," the individual needs, wants, strengths and resources of each client are carefully considered. In the initial consultation, the client (or clients, in the case of couples counseling) is matcxhed with one of our therapists. During this meeting, the individual's background, therapeutic concerns and goals, schedule availability and financial resources are discussed, and a treatment plan is agreed upon.

It should be emphasized that, in the view of Dallas Whole Life Counseling, therapy is a dynamic, organic process of cooperative growth and awareness. For this reason, client progress is continually re-evaluated throughout treatment, and treatment is altered as necessary.

The idea of the therapist as a cold and detached "expert" who has all of the answers is simply one of many common misconceptions regarding the therapeutic process. In actuality, we believe it essential to explore the client's ongoing reactions to, and ideas about, the treatment process.
