“I enjoy working with clients using a client-centered, holistic perspective. With this perspective, I acknowledge the client as both the expert over their lived experience and as an active participant in treatment with members of the treatment team. I enjoy assisting clients with gaining new insight and coping skills which become tools they use in their day-to-day lives to maintain wellness and balance. I enjoy facilitating the process of self-discovery among clients while they navigate their unique pathways to wellness and recovery.” – Dr. Joosten-Hagye
