Philosophy: We are here to be the Light. The Light is both divine (and therefor, universal), and uniquely refracted through our divinely given particularities. Everything about who we are is beautiful, when held in the perspective of consciousness and love. “Therapy” is a way to reconnect with that nature, whether we talk about it or not. Therapy works best when it pays close and ardent attention to the life that the person wants to be living, and draws on all the resources available within that person and in their world to bring that about.
