Orientation &
Approach
| “I actively engage you in the therapeutic process
and support the changes you want to make in your relationships, your
family and your professional life. Depending on your needs I use an
cognitive-behavioral approach and relaxation exercises or action
methods and expressive arts to help you find creative solutions or
increase your coping strategies tailored to your unique issues and
goals. I offer play therapy for children and support families who
are faced with separation and divorce.”

Personal
Comments
| I believe in my clients’ strength and ability to
create change and improvement in their lives and relationships.
I believe in tolerance and cultural diversity, compassion for
people who suffer and the importance to overcome isolation and find
supportive communities. Therapy can help people who are stuck in
certain thought and behavior patterns to access spontaneity and
creativity and develop more flexibility in conflict situations.
Or to speak with John
Schaar:
The future
is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The
paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making
them, changes both the maker and the destination.

Schaar
