I believe in recovery. I believe in growth. Most people come to therapy pushed by a crisis. And their first impulse is to try to get back to where they were. That will never happen. Letting go of that possibility opens the door to not only solving your problem, but to growing - coming out the other side with something more than you came in with. We have abundant research that human beings have an innate tendency to grow. We grow physically and mentally, morally and spiritually.
