Emil Jech, LCSW
I view therapy as an self-discovery process and our therapy relationship is central to changes. I engage you in the here and now and help you focus on your experiences and to identify and act on your choices. That means not focusing on what you "should" do but rather on what you want and can do, given your life situation. My interactions with you are to assist you be fully vibrant, coherent, and to express yourself clearly in relationships. I promote awareness of your internal processes (thinking and feeling, ) and your external experiences. I will suggest experimenting with new behaviors.
